The SEN team is responsible for carrying out Education Health & Care (EHC) needs assessments, issuing and maintaining EHC plans and coordinating the educational placement of children and young people with SEND.
We are seeking highly motivated, reflective individuals to work within our SEN Statutory team. As an EHCP Caseworker, you will coordinate the statutory EHC needs assessment process from start to finish. You will work closely with parents, carers, schools, and professionals from health and social care to ensure that the voices of children and young people are heard and reflected in their plans. You will draft and amend Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) so they are clear, outcome‑focused and legally compliant, oversee annual reviews to keep plans relevant, and track the delivery of provision to make sure statutory timescales are met. Alongside this, you will maintain accurate case records, oversee annual reviews, and build strong working relationships with families, professionals and settings to secure the best possible outcomes.
To succeed in this role, you will have excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex processes in clear and accessible ways. You will bring empathy, patience and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of children and young people. Strong organisational skills and attention to detail are essential, as is the confidence to work with multiple agencies and manage competing priorities. Knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice is essential and the ability to use Synergy is desirable.
