• Collaborate with families, schools, and health and social care professionals to co-produce plans that reflect the needs and aspirations of children and young people.
  
  
• Contribute to the improvement of processes and quality assurance during the implementation of the new case management system.
  
  
• Ensure statutory deadlines are consistently met, delivering a high-quality and child-centred service.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in EHCP coordination, statutory assessments, and drafting/amending plans.
  
  
• Strong understanding of SEND legislation, including the Children & Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice.
  
  
• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
