Working across Lincolnshire, you will play a key role in providing specialist teaching assessments for children and young people with a range of SEND needs, helping to ensure they receive the support and provision they require to thrive.

• Experience of working with children and young people with SEND.
• Strong assessment, communication and report-writing skills.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to meet statutory deadlines.

It would be advantageous if you also have:

• An accredited Level 7 qualification relevant to the assessment of children and young people with specific learning differences/difficulties or currently studying towards such a qualification.
• A current Assessment Practising Certificate (APC).

What We Offer

• Flexible full-time and part-time opportunities.
• A generous mileage allowance of 55p per mile.
• Consideration of travel times and efforts made to minimise travel where possible.
• Full induction and comprehensive ongoing professional support.
• The opportunity to work within a skilled and supportive team making a meaningful impact on children's lives.
