This is an exciting opportunity for you to join us in championing change for children!
Working within a local authority provides a wealth of career development opportunities.
This is predominantly an office-based role. A key part of your role will be to coordinate the assessment of, write and review Education Health and Care Plans (EHC Plans).

This is a challenging but rewarding role and you will be well supported by colleagues and have access to high quality and ongoing CPD.
