This is a fantastic opportunity to join Bolton's SEND Assessment Service as we prepare for the next phase of national SEND reform. With significant developments ahead, we are looking for passionate, committed individuals who want to play a key role in shaping services and improving outcomes for children and young people.

Our SEND Assessment Service is a supportive, forward-thinking team dedicated to ensuring children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) receive the right support at the right time.
