You would be joining our Bi-Borough Special Educational Needs (SEN) Service, you will complete Education, Health and Care Needs Assessments within the statutory timescales but could also be part of the review process of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP) for children and young people. As well as delivering comprehensive casework management and administrative support, you’ll manage crucial relationships with diverse agencies and support services, including Children’s Social Care and Health.
