An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Case Worker within the Children with Disabilities Team.

The children/young people’s needs will be met through a multi-disciplinary team. These children may have an Education, Health and Care plan or they may be undergoing assessment relating to additional or special educational needs. The children/young people may also have disabilities and/or complex health needs.

The post holder will work directly with children/young people and their families to ensure their views are listened to, and that they are fully engaged in processes to ensure appropriate support is implemented and reviewed.  They will also be a point of contact for families and will provide information and advice as appropriate.

Please see job description for more information.

You will become part of a supportive team and will receive regular, good quality, supervision and excellent training and development opportunities. The post requires experience and knowledge of working with children with special educational needs and/or disabled children and their families.
