With strong communication skills and a person-centred approach, you will ensure that the child or young person remains at the heart of all decisions. You will build shared understanding of processes and outcomes, while maintaining compliance with statutory requirements and local procedures within required timescales. In return, we are committed to supporting your professional growth, with opportunities to develop your expertise in SEND and progress within a rewarding career pathway.
