Taking account of Annual Review attendees to appropriately prioritise work and attend priority Annual Reviews were necessary. Act as a single point of contact for families and partners during the EHCNA providing advice and information throughout the assessment. Ensure children, young people and their families are fully involved in the EHCNA and/or review process. Responsible for requesting and collating required statutory advice, advising on statutory process and timelines. Receive and interpret reports and advice, to draft and amend EHCPs which are accessible, and outcome focused and of sufficiently high quality to reduce the risk of legal challenge and comply with the requirements of the legislation and SEND Code of Practice. Identify indicative budgets for the Operations Lead. Responsible for organising, chairing, and preparing paperwork for Statutory Annual Review Meetings for home educated children, ensuring that the young person and their family and relevant professionals are fully included. Responsible for ensuring data is accurately recorded, in a timely manner to enable the Council to report to stakeholders on a range of subjects including statutory timescales, out-of-authority placements and CYP with alternative education offers. The data will also be used to monitoring and track pupil records.

The Experience You Will Bring

Educated to RQF level 3 (A level) as a minimum, or equivalent by experience. Evidence of continuing professional development and expert knowledge in relevant professional area. Knowledge or experience of working with young people with special educational needs and disabilities and with their families including families that services find hard to reach.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to communicate with a varied audience including professionals and parents/carers who may have additional needs. Effective time management and prioritisation skills with the ability to manage own workload and adapt quickly and effectively to changing circumstances/situations. Ability to chair meetings and liaise with other professionals within Education, Health, and Social Care.
