Nottinghamshire County Council’s Statutory SEND Service is seeking a dynamic Team Manager to join our expanding and ambitious service. Established in response to the SEND Reforms of 2014, our Statutory SEND Service brings together a range of statutory and regulated education and social care services to deliver a coordinated, child and young person-centred approach.

* Experienced in managing teams and overseeing performance, quality assurance, and legal compliance.
* A strategic thinker who can lead on countywide areas of specialism (e.g., tribunals, early years, digital innovation, commissioning).
* Comfortable representing the Local Authority in tribunals, panels, and partnership forums.
* Skilled in building and nurturing strong partnerships with families, education settings, health and social care professionals to strengthen relationships and ensure coordinated, person-centred support.
What We Offer
* Flexible, hybrid working arrangements
* 28 days annual leave (rising to 33 after 5 years), plus bank holidays
* Local Government Pension Scheme
* Westfield Health Scheme
* Cycle Scheme
* Car Lease Scheme
* Discounts across major UK retailers
