• You will be expected to contribute to Personal Education Plan meetings and Looked After Child Reviews for the children you work with.
• You may be required to undertake quality assurance of the PEP epaperwork and provisions using our electronic platform.
• You will cover a geographical area and use of a car is essential.
• You will be home based or based at the nearest office to your home.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has the ability to demonstrate warmth, care and empathy and puts the relationship with the child or young person at the centre of everything.
