**Advert Text**:
Merton is engaging in an exciting period of improving its arrangements for SEND. We are looking for individuals who thrive on daily challenge, enjoy working as part of a team and who want to make a difference to the experience of families of children with SEND as they work with the Council to put arrangements in place for their children.

The team is based in Morden. Whilst hybrid working is part of our life at the moment, in time you will be expected to work from our office.

We are looking for people with experience of working as an EHC Co-ordinator or a Local Authority SEND Case Officer/Co-ordinator who:

- understands how schools and other educational settings make provision for children with SEND, whether this is at SEN Support or through provisions specified in an EHC Plan.
- have prepared draft EHC Plans, and are familiar with the type of professional reports that are used at various stages in the EHC assessment, planning and review process
- have experience of working with a range of educational settings to plan, review and monitor provision for children with EHC Plans.
- have successful experience in working with parents throughout the various stages of the statutory process, and ideally, have been involved in resolving parental concerns and building their confidence
- have the ability to write good quality EHCP’s that are specified and quantified and comply with statutory guidance.

You need a good understanding of the SEND Code of Practice 2015, Children and Families Act 2014 and understand the equality issues associated with SEN and Disability.

We are a great team to work with. We need “can-do” people with the right knowledge and experience. We need people who will be committed to their work, creative, good problem solvers and able to build good relationships with team colleagues and all those we work with.

We would love to hear from you

Interviews will be held on Wednesday, 24th April 2024.
