Job Introduction
**Do you want to make a difference to children and young people by helping them to access their education?**

Do you have a passion for supporting schools, families, children and young people?

We are seeking an Inclusion Practitioner to join the Team Around the School and Setting (TASS), part of the innovative Education Division of Children’s Services.

Your primary focus will be to support the Local Authority in meeting its duties with regard to the provision of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Build capacity in settings to meet the needs of children with difficult, dangerous or concerning behaviour and promote inclusion at all stages through modelling approaches and strategies to staff. You will also provide expertise in embedding person centred and dynamic focused plans to support inclusion at every stage.

As part of a team of experienced staff, you will work alongside professionals to draw up and deliver bespoke packages of support. This will involve mentoring the pupil, as well as working with the family and school to establish positive, effective working relationships, which will lead to improved educational outcomes.

You will have the opportunity to learn about East Sussex’s Therapeutic Thinking approach to inclusion, which focuses on how to support all children and young people, particularly in terms of their emotional wellbeing and mental health. You will use this approach and the tools within it to support children and young people at risk of suspensions and low school attendance.

We are looking for a skilled practitioner with a genuine interest in this area, who is experienced in working within an educational setting to support to support positive behaviour and engagement with learning. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to engage with children, young people, families and school staff. Further to this, you will have demonstrable skills in:

- Assessing individual needs and monitoring progress against desired outcomes
- Ensuring that all work delivered to settings is in line with the wider aspirations of the Education Division and exploits opportunities for integrated working with partners at every opportunity.
- Identifying work priorities and managing your own workload to meet deadlines
- Communicating complex information clearly and confidently, orally and in writing, to a range of audiences

We currently have posts available based at County Hall, Lewes and Cavendish House, Hastings. There is flexibility for some home working as part of a hybrid working model. You will be supported through regular supervisions, case discussions and peer support.

Interviews will take place in person at **Cavendish House, Hastings on Monday 8 January 2024.**

In addition to opportunities to grow your career within our team, we offer a diverse range of benefits to help and support you during your employment, which include:

- Opportunities for flexi-time working
- 42 week term time only contract would be considered
- Regular CPD opportunities
- A generous leave entitlement which increases with length of service, with the option to purchase additional leave
