SEND Case Reviewer

You'll play a vital part in supporting our learners by conducting annual reviews of Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs), including early reviews, and ensuring everything runs smoothly and on time. You'll take charge of tracking review dates, managing schedules, and coordinating meetings with all key stakeholders to ensure a seamless process. You'll also have the rewarding task in supporting to assess EHCP outcomes and setting meaningful new goals that truly make a difference in our learners' lives. Clear communication will be one of your key strengths, as you'll provide detailed written reports from the meetings with, students, families, colleagues and stakeholders. Collaboration will also be at the heart of your role as you work closely with parents, carers, students, and external agencies to gather valuable insights and ensure every voice is heard. Keeping accurate, up-to-date records will be key, and you'll ensure compliance with SEND legislation, including the SEND Code of Practice and data protection requirements, maintaining the highest standards throughout. Working alongside the ALS Spirals and Claims Administrator, you'll also contribute to achieving departmental goals while also supporting colleagues with expert guidance on EHCP processes and SEND requirements. You'll also showcase your organisational talents by managing departmental data, maintaining files, and using MS Outlook to coordinate schedules. Your proactive and optimistic approach will ensure that the administrative side of the SEND provision is as effective and impactful as the support we deliver to our learners. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). By taking on this role, you'll be at the heart of ensuring that students receive the tailored support they need to thrive academically and personally. You'll have the chance to build meaningful relationships with learners, families, and a range of stakeholders, contributing to their success and creating a lasting impact.
