ARE YOU SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO THRIVE?

Do you have the passion, heart, and drive to walk alongside children and young people with SEND — and their families — as they navigate life’s challenges and celebrate every success? If so, we want you on our team.
We’re growing a team of changemakers — people with a growth mindset, genuine empathy, and a relentless belief in the power of support, connection, and inclusion. Together, we champion the voices of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and support their families to feel empowered.
Do you want to empower families to advocate for themselves? SENDiass is a service that provides information, advice and support to children/young people with SEND, aged 0-25 years and their families, based on Education, Health and Social Care. We primarily support parents/carers and professionals but always ensure that we try to obtain the voice of the child/YP.
Are you looking for a role that offers lots of variety? The SENDiass team also have opportunity to support with delivery of holiday clubs for children and young people with SEND, so the role offers lots of variety and opportunity for professional development.
You will primarily be based in our Rochdale office but you may sometimes be required to travel elsewhere within the Greater Manchester area at times, so it is essential to hold a valid UK driving licence with access to your own vehicle.
