This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute directly to improving outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), while also supporting a key service transformation project.
The Roles We are recruiting for five EHCP Coordinators:
3 Coordinators will lead on new statutory assessments, working closely with parents, schools, and multi-agency partners to draft and finalise high-quality EHCPs within statutory timelines.

Draft clear, outcome-focused EHCPs in line with the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and statutory requirements.
Collaborate with families, schools, and health and social care professionals to co-produce plans that reflect the needs and aspirations of children and young people.
Contribute to the improvement of processes and quality assurance during the implementation of the new case management system.
Ensure statutory deadlines are consistently met, delivering a high-quality and child-centred service.
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience in EHCP coordination, statutory assessments, and drafting/amending plans.
Strong understanding of SEND legislation, including the Children & Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice.
Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
