We are passionate about promoting high aspirations and expectations for children and young people, and we are looking for a SEN casework Officer to join us as we champion the need of children and young people with high need SEND (0-25) and their families.
As a SEN Casework Officer, you will work with children and young people and their families through the statutory assessment process for SEND, holding a caseload of approximately 240 cases.

You will be focused on achieving positive life outcomes, establishing respectful, trusting relationships with children, young people, their families and carers.
