London, United Kingdom Islington Schools HR Services Full time

Director - Head of SEND Assessment and Placements
Full-time and permanent position

**Salary**: £62,815 - £69,546 per annum fully inclusive

The extracts below are just a few of the findings we are most proud of following our recent Area SEND Inspection:
“Children and young people with SEND enjoy their time in education and in their social lives. They like living in Barnet. They feel well supported by the professionals who help them. The support they receive helps them to access learning at school and college more easily”.

“Co-production (a way of working where children, families and those that provide the services work together to create a decision or a service that works for them all) in Barnet goes beyond consultation and collaboration. Children, young 3 people, and parents and carers influence and help deliver improvements across a wide range of services”.

We want to build on this and make it even better for our children and young people with SEND and their families. Quite simply they deserve it. We are looking for an exceptional and enthusiastic Head of Service for SEND, where attitude in terms of empathy and a true co producer is equally important as your knowledge of the legislation and management of a large team who work to very tight deadlines in a highly pressured environment. You will need to be a dynamic, experienced and capable leader, able to maintain and build on our excellent quality standards and our very positive relationship with our partners in social care, health, schools, settings and further education as well as a very strong partnership with our Barnet Parent Carer Forum.
