SEND Officer

We are looking for someone with a passion for SEND to join our Additional Learning Support team, in the role of a SEND Officer. If you are passionate about removing barriers for young people and supporting them to achieve their goals, we would love to hear from you.

You will be working alongside peer SEND Officers within the dedicated team who collectively work together to ensure that learners with identified additional learning needs are able to access their education to the best of their ability and make progress towards achieving their outcomes.

You will be working closely with young people and families, curriculum teams and external agencies, with a commitment to ensuring the young person's views and wishes are central to the process and that timeframes are being met.

You will have good knowledge and understanding of the requirements for education providers arising from the 0-25 SEND Code of Practice (2014), and a relevant degree or equivalent in demonstrable experience.

We are looking for potential, not an exact match. We recognise you may not meet all of the essential criteria but if you have experience of SEND, initiative, good communication skills and can work as part of a team, we would love to hear from you., Disability Confident
