The Role
The purpose of this role is to work with families, schools and other partner organisations to ensure that children are able to access an education which is appropriate to their needs and addressing any issues which prevent individual children from receiving this.

This role covers inclusion, exclusion, suspensions, part time timetables and elective home education.
Herefordshire Councils’ vision is giving children and young people a great start in life. We aim for outcomes across all external performance measures to be in the top quartile and for all our children and young people to be educated in schools and settings which are good or better. The post holder will support Herefordshire Council’s Children and Young People and Education strategies.
You will hold a degree level qualification and QTS (qualified teacher status). This is a full time, permanent post. The start date for this position will be 1st August 2025 or as soon as possible.

How do we do this? By having dynamic, dedicated, passionate and professional staff who work in a culture that focuses on what we can achieve with children, what they can achieve themselves, and the relationship we build with families and partners to enable this.
