This pivotal role ensures the delivery of an exceptional service by strengthening relationships with families, schools, and communities.

As a SEN Case Officer, you will manage the development and maintenance of Education, Health, and Care (EHC) Plans from initial applications and assessments through to annual reviews.

Using data, feedback, and reflective practices, you will contribute to continuous service improvement.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and requires an Enhanced DBS check.
