Reimagine the possibilities.

Your role and responsibilities

You will facilitate a multi-agency conversation around the child or young person’s education, to identify a clear pathway in their educational journey.

On a daily basis, you will work alongside families and young people to collect their views on their education experience, as well as meeting with schools and other professionals to gain their perspectives. These multi agency conversations will be used to identify clear pathways and next steps in the young person’s education journey.

You will utilise this information to create a report, providing bespoke recommendations to support and enable access to education.

The report informs stakeholders to ensure that the child is at the heart of all education decision making.

You will need

• strong listening and communication skills, with experience engaging a range of service users and professionals through both verbal and written communication.
• a collaborative approach, valuing teamwork with colleagues who are keen to learn, develop and make a meaningful difference in their day-to-day work.
• efficiency in maintaining robust and accurate records, with a clear understanding of sensitivities and confidentiality at all times.
• flexibility and creativity, with the ability to adapt your approach to meet the needs of different stakeholders.

You can view a full list of requirements in the Job and Person Profile (JPP) , which you can find in the ‘How to apply’ section towards the bottom of this advert.
