Essex County Council is dedicated to transforming the services and provisions for children and young individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Our goal is to create a SEND framework that recognizes and addresses needs at an earlier stage, offering effective and meaningful support while reducing reliance on statutory services.

The SEND Engagement Facilitator plays a crucial role in fostering sustainable inclusion for children and young people with SEND. This position involves providing targeted assistance to educational institutions, families, and community partners. The facilitator will promote collaborative practices through One Planning and ensure a cohesive approach to the Assess, Plan, Do, Review Cycle, especially during critical transition periods for children and young people.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver targeted interventions as part of a multi-disciplinary team, assisting families and professionals during times of change, challenge, and transition to enhance long-term resilience and communication vital for successful educational placements and outcomes.
  • Utilize and exemplify enabling, collaborative, and person-centered methodologies to ensure that the voices of pupils and families are prioritized and integrated into the 0-25 planning process.
  • Identify and implement effective strategies for gathering, documenting, and disseminating information regarding a child or young person, their family, educational setting, or circumstances to inform their planning through both statutory and non-statutory frameworks.
  • Facilitate partnerships among educational staff, families, and other stakeholders to foster a shared understanding of aspirations, needs, outcomes, and necessary provisions for children and young people.
  • Engage directly with children and their families to enhance their understanding and involvement in assessment, planning, and decision-making processes, ensuring that their plans are co-produced and comprehensible.
  • Serve as a model of effective One Planning for local authority colleagues and as a source of information for targeted initiatives with families and educational settings, enabling cohesive collaboration among Inclusion and SEND Operations teams.
  • Design, implement, and assess a variety of partnership and person-centered practices, providing development opportunities for educational staff to integrate these approaches into their engagement with families.
  • Establish and maintain strong connections across educational sectors, including SENDIASS and the SEND Innovation and Strategy team, to identify, implement, and evaluate best practices in One Planning with input from families and the community.
  • Annually define specific individual and shared targets and objectives within the performance management framework.

Required Skills, Knowledge, and Experience:

  • Possession of RQF Level 2 of the SEN awards or equivalent experience.
  • Demonstrated commitment to ongoing professional development with expertise in relevant fields.
  • Familiarity with the SEND Code of Practice and its implications for assessment, planning, provision, and review processes on a daily basis.
  • Extensive experience working effectively with children with SEND in educational and/or home environments.
  • Proven ability to collaborate successfully with families in a supportive role and with other professionals in a multi-agency context.
  • Exemplary interpersonal skills with the ability to facilitate and mediate in challenging situations.
  • Evidence of capacity to develop skills, knowledge, and experience within the role, including a willingness to lead meetings and deliver training to small groups of adults.
