Working for Southend on Sea City Council offers a challenging and rewarding career in local government within a collaborative and innovate environment, with the benefit of flexible working practices to support a positive work life balance.

The diversity of our economy and communities and investment in a number of exciting regeneration projects makes our Council a great place to work, learn and make a difference.

Your new role

We are seeking an Assistant EHC Coordinator to join our team, providing essential support to the statutory Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment and review process. This contract is offered on a fulltime and temporary basis (3 months). You will contribute to the delivery of statutory processes within required timescales, ensuring all requests for EHC assessments and annual reviews are logged and responded to promptly.

Your responsibilities will include participating in the initial triage of assessment and review requests, ensuring all documentation is complete, and processing annual reviews efficiently when no changes are required. You will also manage a designated area of new EHC assessments and reviews, updating database systems and monitoring timelines to maintain compliance with statutory deadlines, including six-week assessment decisions and four-week review completions.

What you'll need to succeed

To thrive in this role, you'll need a strong understanding of the SEND Code of Practice (0–25), EHC plans, and SEN systems in schools, as well as knowledge of GDPR requirements and the diverse needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs. Excellent IT and administrative skills are essential, along with the ability to analyse data and produce clear reports.

You must be highly organised, able to prioritise and meet deadlines, and communicate professionally with families, headteachers, and partner agencies both in writing and verbally. Empathy and a commitment to providing supportive, customer-focused service to families are key to success in this role.
