Job vacancy: Education Officer

Salary: £54,983.41 per annum.
Hours: Full time.
Contract Type: Permanent.
Too many children and young people do not have access to an education that enables their full potential. With the markers for change set out by government in the recent White Paper and accompanying SEND reform consultation, our client tells us that change needs to come now.
This organisation is working hard to deliver on requests for SEND services – that’s advice and consultancy tailored to a school, a local authority or setting, along with both an online CPDL and in‑person delivery. They have never been busier.
About the employer
Our client is a charitable organisation that exists to support and champion those working with, and for, children and young people with SEND and learning differences.
They seek to ensure that all education practitioners across early years, schools, post‑16 and wider settings are equipped to understand, identify and support those with SEND and learning differences, and provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD), resources, advice, information and much more to enable all staff to meet the needs of all their learners.
Our client brings organisations together, whether locally or nationally, to share practice, shape solutions. Their priorities are those that matter to the education and SEND sector, drawing on direct engagement with practitioners, school leaders, SENCOs, local authorities and hearing from the lived experience of children and young people.
