- Act as a single point of contact for families and partners during the EHC assessment process providing advice and information throughout the assessment. Ensure children, young people and their families are fully involved in the assessment and/or review process.
- Responsible for requesting and collating required statutory advice, advising on statutory process and timelines.
- Receive and interpret reports and advice, to draft and amend EHCPs which are accessible, and outcome focused and of sufficiently high quality to reduce the risk of legal challenge and comply with the requirements of the legislation and SEND Code of Practice.

**The Experience You Will Bring**
- Educated to RQF level 3 (A level) as a minimum, or equivalent by experience.
- Evidence of continuing professional development and expert knowledge in relevant professional area.
- Knowledge or experience of working with young people with special educational needs and disabilities and with their families including families that services find hard to reach.
