Are you ready to make a meaningful impact as a SEND Lead Worker? Join our SEND and Inclusion service and help improve outcomes that bring positive changes to the lives of families and children/young people with SEND.

We take great pride in our passionate and enthusiastic approach, delivering high quality support tailored to the unique needs of every individual. Our focus is on preventive and early intervention, ensuring that our services are child, young person, and family-centred, always listening to and responding to their voices.

As a SEND Lead Worker, you will play a pivotal role in coordinating and facilitating the Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment and/or overseeing the review and monitoring process of Education, Health, and Care plans (EHCP). Opportunities exist in both the Assessment and community review team.

We are looking for passionate and dedicated individuals who are highly organised and possess extensive experience of working in partnership with children, young people, and their families, particularly those with SEND. You must hold a minimum of a level 4 recognised qualification or be willing to work towards this and a minimum of two years of experience in early years, social care, health, or education.
