Job introduction:

SEN Casework Officer Wanted
Would you like to be part of an established, friendly team of people passionate about achieving the best outcomes for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities?

Are you interested in making better information available and EHC Plans as good as they can be?

Come and join the SEN Team at Hove Town Hall.

We are a well-established and respected team delivering a statutory service for children and young people in the city who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

About the role:

We are looking for an efficient and hardworking SEN Casework Officer to ensure the right statutory provision is available at the right time for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

Working within the legislative framework, you will be responsible for co-ordinating the assessment, production and review of Education Health and Care (EHC) plans and other aspects of special educational needs of individual pupils.

You will have a caseload related to a defined group of schools, colleges or geographical area, and will work closely with parents, carers and professionals from a range of voluntary and statutory agencies.

SEN Casework Officers are also tasked with one or more special areas of responsibility.

While a background in education, social care or special educational needs are advantageous, they are not essential. You will need to evidence excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to relate well to parents, carers and professionals. You will also need to demonstrate strong communication, prioritisation and negotiation skills.

You will be working to challenging deadlines and will need to have a flexible approach but will have a supportive team of experienced casework officers and managers around you.

There is an emphasis on team working and striving for continuous improvement to our service, within a customer care environment.

Additional information:

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is less than 37 hours or term-time only.

Part office / part home - hybrid - We are a workplace that supports flexibility and employee wellbeing in the way we work whilst providing the best service for our customers. Team and service working arrangements are designed to support both employee work life balance and team collaboration. These would be part of your individual working arrangements alongside any personal preference agreed with your manager in advance of joining.
