Liaison / Elective Home Education Officer

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the existing team providing support to the Elective Home Education community in Rhondda Cynon Taf. The number of children and young people who are EHE has risen steadily and this post is required to fulfil RCT's statutory obligations. The main elements of the role include:

• To ensure the placement of learners with employers or providers of training opportunities
• Carry out Health and Safety Risk Assessments of pupils accessing alternative education placements/work experience placements
• To support in the effective implementation of the Local Authority Individual and Group Tuition Policy
• To effectively implement the Local Authority Elective Home Education (EHE) Policy
• To act as liaison between EOTAS, pupils, parents/carers, external agencies and professionals to ensure appropriate provision and support for EOTAS
• To liaise on a multi agency basis to ensure the educational, safeguarding and general wellbeing of young people within EOTAS and EHE
Ty Gwyn Education Centre oversees both Elective Home Education and learners in receipt of local authority tuition (EOTAS) and this post is within that structure, reporting to the Head of Alternative Education.

An application submitted for this post in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application made in English.
