Join to apply for the SEND Practitioner role at Bath & North East Somerset Council
At Bath & North East Somerset Council we have one overriding purpose to improve people’s lives.
About The Role
The Education Health and Care Team are looking to recruit new SEND Practitioners for children, young people and their families to work closely with relevant professionals throughout statutory SEND processes.
The SEND Practitioners role focuses on person centred planning, co-production and outcomes to generate outstanding and effective Education Health and Care Plans to support children and young people with their education and preparing for adulthood.
This is a diverse and engaging role with SEND Practitioners carrying significant responsibility for progressing individual cases in discussion with education colleagues and other agencies.
What will you be doing?
Duties May Include
* Coordinating the collection of the assessments required to support SEND processes for new requests for assessment and Annual Reviews and producing high quality EHCP’s. You will be responsible for writing the EHC Plans. Managing statutory timescales is a key part of the role.
* Networking with a variety of services, agencies and providers to gather information in order to support the family to make well-informed choices, including parent support services. This includes facilitating access to informal and formal mediation.
* Attending EHCP Annual Review meetings and ensuring reviews are outcome focused, person centred and completed within statutory timeframes.
About You
Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to independently plan your workload to meet specified timescales are a must. You’ll also be energised by working under pressure, able to switch between competing priorities, and comfortable using your initiative. Finally, you’ll have the skills to analyse and interpret information from a wide range of sources, and excellent written and verbal communication skills which mean you can summarise that information concisely.
If you are interested in this exciting opportunity and want to make a real difference to young people and families, we look forward to receiving your application.
Your main place of work will be the award-winning, modern Civic Centre in Keynsham, halfway between Bath and Bristol, easily accessible by public transport and with a train station 5 minutes walk away.
