Could you be the person who brings compassion, clarity, and coordination to the heart of our EHCP process?
If you're someone with experience in family help or social work, who understands EHCP legislation, communicates clearly, and stays organised and self-motivated, then this could be be the perfect role for you.
Whats the role all about?
As a Social Care Coordinator for Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), you'll be responsible for ensuring the social care elements of EHCPs are robust, timely, and aligned with national standards.

Your work will help the local authority meet its statutory responsibilities under the SEND Code of Practice.
What will your day look like?
This role is all about bringing people together and making a real difference. You'll be at the heart of coordinating and completing the social care elements of EHCPs, working closely with families, social workers, and a range of professionals to ensure everything runs smoothly. From attending reviews and multi-agency meetings to making sure the child's voice and family needs are front and centre, your input will be vital. You'll keep records sharp and up to date, stay on top of the latest legislation, and be a go-to source of support and guidance for colleagues navigating the EHCP process.
Who are we looking for?
We're after someone who brings a brilliant mix of experience, passion, and professionalism to the role. With a solid background in social care or family support, you'll have a strong understanding of SEND legislation and safeguarding. You're a natural communicator, effortlessly organised, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Your flexible, team-first attitude and commitment to delivering high-quality support make you the kind of person everyone wants on their side.
Why join us?
You’ll be part of a values-driven organisation that prioritises Valuing People, Honesty, Integrity, Openness, Commitment, and Continuous Improvement. You'll work in a supportive, multi-agency environment where your expertise is valued, and your development is encouraged.
