About the Role
Are you an experienced SEND professional with a passion for inclusive education, post-16 transitions, and improving employment outcomes for young people with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs)? Do you have a strong understanding of Ofsted requirements, quality assurance, and the delivery of high-impact education programmes? We’re looking for a skilled and committed Programme Coordinator to lead our Supported Internship programme in Barnet — helping young people with learning disabilities and/or autism build skills and gain meaningful work experience on their journey into paid employment. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking, values-driven charity and lead a multidisciplinary team supporting learners to thrive. As Programme Coordinator, you’ll lead a talented team — including Tutors, Skills Coaches, Employer Engagement Officers, and Administrators — to deliver high-quality provision tailored to learners with EHCPs. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the operational delivery of the programme in line with Ofsted, ESFA, and awarding body requirements; embedding a culture of continuous quality improvement, learner progress, and inclusive practice; creating a safe, supportive and ambitious learning environment for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism; building strong relationships with local authorities, employers, families, and other key stakeholders; monitoring performance against KPIs and outcomes, including learner progression, sustained employment, and quality indicators; and ensuring full compliance with funding contracts, safeguarding, and regulatory standards.

Experience
Experience managing education, SEND, or supported employment programmes, particularly with young people with EHCPs.

About you
Strong knowledge of Ofsted’s Education Inspection Framework (EIF), ESFA and awarding body requirements. A solid understanding of contract compliance, safeguarding, and working in partnership with families and support services. Excellent leadership skills — able to manage performance, motivate teams, and embed inclusive, person-centred approaches. Experience in budget management, effective data monitoring, and reporting against quality benchmarks. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build effective partnerships across education, health, and employment sectors.
