  6. Act as a model of good One Planning to LA colleagues and a conduit of information for targeted work with families and educational settings, allowing the Inclusion and SEND Operations teams in each quadrant, to work cohesively as part of early intervention approaches.
  7. Plan, deliver, and evaluate a range of partnership and person-centred practice and its application, development opportunities for staff in educational settings, enabling educators to embed this approach within engagement with families.
  8. Build and maintain effective links across Education, including SENDIASS and the SEND Innovation and Strategy team, to identify, implement, and evaluate good One Planning practice, with appropriate input from families and the community.
  9. Specific individual and shared targets and objectives are defined annually within the performance management framework.

You will need to demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills, with an understanding of how to facilitate and mediate in situations which are perceived as challenging. You will also need to evidence your ability to develop skills, knowledge, and experience within the role, including a willingness to chair/facilitate meetings and plan/deliver training to small groups of adults.
