Strong knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice and EHCP processes, particularly phase transfers.

Excellent organisational and time-management skills to meet statutory deadlines.

Ability to build positive relationships with families, schools, and other stakeholders.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Attention to detail and ability to manage sensitive and complex cases. 

We have multiple vacancies within SEND across our Education Team and across several Local Authorities nationwide, so even if you think this role isn’t quite right for you, we may well have other roles that are more suitable, so please do get in touch.

Alternatively, if our roles are more relevant to a friend or colleague, please know that we offer a senior referral scheme that rewards you upon the successful placement of the candidate, so it’s worthwhile getting in contact.
