7 months ago

Dorchester, United Kingdom Dorset Councils Full time

We have a wonderful opportunity to join our teams in East Dorset and Purbeck localities.

You’ll undertake a range of duties in line with the statutory requirements of the Children and Families Act 2014 including case work and statistical work around SEN policy in liaison with SEND Provision Leads and SEND Team Managers.

You’ll support Provision Leads with a case load of pupils and students with special educational needs and disabilities (aged 0 - 25) and work will include (but isn’t limited to):

- processing EHC needs assessment requests including collating all professional advice and parental information for an allocated case load
- provide, secure and advise on accurate and timely advice and information to parents, professionals and panels.
- co-facilitate meetings with young people, parents, and schools to begin the statutory processes and act as a key worker where appropriate.
- co-facilitate multi-agency meetings to produce the Education Health and Care Plans of individual children and young people.
- Work proactively with parents and carers of children with SEND and liaise with schools, colleges, Early Years settings and other service and agencies as appropriate.

**About you**:
The post holder will be able to demonstrate:

- the necessary in-depth knowledge (or have the ability to develop) and understanding of SEN legislation in order to undertake the role effectively
- excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to provide great customer service under what can sometimes be very difficult circumstances
- flexibility as the workload of the post will vary and at certain times of the year can be vast and requires the team to use the flexi-system to work additional hours to enable the post holder to meet agreed deadlines
- a knowledge of (or ability to develop the knowledge of) the legislative framework and procedures for the assessment of children and young people with special educational needs
- the ability to work within tight deadlines and work schedules with conflicting priorities without compromising accuracy, where the nature of a task may change at short notice
- a good standard of numeracy and written literacy skills
- experience of working in a complex organisation
- a proven background of using word processing and spreadsheet computer packages with the ability to present timely information in a user-friendly and understandable format to all levels of staff
