Lewes, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

This is an exciting opportunity for you to join us in championing change for children

Are you interested in a career in public service supporting children with SEND and their families? Perhaps you are beginning your career or wish to build on your existing skills and experience?

Working within a local authority provides a wealth of career development opportunities.

This is predominantly an office-based role. A key part of your role will be to coordinate the assessment of, write and review Education Health and Care Plans (EHC Plans). You will hold a caseload of children and young people with EHC Plans and visit schools to work with parents/carers, young people, schools and other key professionals to ensure good quality provision for children.

While a background in education, social care or special educational needs are advantageous, they are not essential.

East Sussex County Council are committed to offering excellent CPD for staff. Assessment and Planning Team is part of the wider Inclusion and Special Educational Needs & Disability Service (ISEND).

What can we offer you?
- A motivated team committed to the continuous improvement of outcomes for children and young people.
- A commitment to a model of reflective practice based on regular supervision to support all employees in their professional development.
- A continued professional development (CPD) programme to ensure your personal and professional skills and knowledge are enhanced and developed to support the performance of the service.
- A fellow team of motivated and committed professionals, and a supportive wider management team.
- We also offer a diverse range of benefits to help and support you during your employment. More information can be found on our benefits page.
- County Hall provides a café with a full range of hot and cold lunches, snacks and drinks with seating both indoors and out.

Please download the Job Description & Person Specification for more information.

You will be working at County Hall; the Head Office for the County Council, based on the edge of Lewes Town Centre, which is within walking distance to the town and train station. County Hall is also on a bus route and car parking is available on site at a reduced rate for employees.
