Do you want to make a difference for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families?
Birmingham’s SEND services have been growing as part of the council’s long-term commitment to children, young people and their families and our improvements have recently been recognised by Ofsted. We’re looking for motivated people to join our teams and make a meaningful impact in this priority area.
Our SEND Assistant EHCNA Coordinators work closely with our Co-ordinators to respond to EHCNA requests and manage assessments for children and young people with special educational needs. Working within the legislative framework of the Children and Families Act 2014, you will provide a high standard of administrative support and accurate data entry whilst developing your knowledge of SEND.
You will have experience of managing communication with young people, parents, carers and professionals, including schools and settings, relaying accurate information and explaining processes. Your organisational skills will support the team to gather the information required to make decisions about whether an assessment or EHC plan is required for a child or young person within statutory timescales.
As a member of a team, you will be open to supporting colleagues with additional tasks and keen to participate in professional development opportunities to further your SEND career.
We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that represents the communities we serve.
Please upload an up-to-date CV and Supporting Statement via the attachments part of your application. The Supporting Statement should outline how you meet the criteria for the role through your personal qualities, skills and experience and include your motivation for applying to the post. Note the Personal Statement should be no more than 1500 words. Unfortunately, we cannot consider any applications without a CV and Personal Statement attached
