I am currently recruiting for an EHCP coordinator to work a contract in Kingston upon Thames.

This role is initially for 2 months and requires applying candidates to have an enhanced DBS to be considered.

Coordinators manage the Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan process to ensure that children and young people with SEND aged 0-25 receive appropriate assessments, services and provision from Education, Health and Social Care. Coordinators are responsible for a caseload as defined by the Service Manager and have prime responsibility for coordinating the entire process with families to create an EHC Plan. This will include managing the EHC Needs Assessment, presenting requests to the SEN Panel, coordinating assessments from other agencies, drafting and finalising the plan with families. As part of this process the coordinator will be expected to act as a professional exemplar in carrying out all duties with a 'can do' attitude and continue to improve customer satisfaction levels for the service. The coordinator will be expected to undertake statutory SEN assessment and placement processes in an efficient and timely manner, reaching appropriate placement decisions for children and young people aged 0-25, including being responsible for managing the arrangements for Secondary and Key Stage Transfer through liaison with the admission service, schools and parents/carers. Coordinators will work closely with service providers and families in order to ensure that the provision outlined in the EHC Plans is being effectively delivered and to take appropriate action where this is not the case. To support this coordinators will be expected to manage processes including Annual Reviews, Transition Reviews, provision and placement requests and requests to change parts of the EHCP. Coordinators are also expected to lead Annual Reviews as required and to input into monitoring systems for the management of all Review processes. As part of this role coordinators will be required to meet with parents, schools and other agency representatives in order to negotiate, identify and develop positive solutions where children and young people have a complex range of needs.
