About the Role

Join our SEND Service and make a real difference!

We're looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and proactive individuals who can communicate clearly and build trusted relationships. So if you're committed to collaboration, advocacy, and making things happen, we'd love to hear from you!

Our young people want adults who listen, explain things honestly, and keep them at the centre of every decision. Parents and carers value empathy, strong organisational skills, and a deep understanding of SEND legislation and diverse needs. Schools need consistent, accessible professionals who are experts in SEND and can guide them through the system with clarity and confidence.

At Surrey County Council, we're committed to providing excellent support for children and young people with SEND. Our SEND services work together to deliver timely, effective support that leads to positive outcomes. We focus on building strong, respectful relationships with families, schools, and partner organisations, with relational and restorative working practices underpinning all our work.

As an EHCP Coordination Officer, you'll be part of a busy area SEND team, primarily focused on managing the statutory annual review process.

Your key responsibilities as an EHCP Coordination Officer will include:

• Coordinating input from Education, Health, and Care services to ensure each child receives the right support for their needs
• Advising schools and other settings, helping to ensure EHCPs are clear, accurate, and high quality.

Reflective practice and continuous improvement are key to this role, and you'll be part of a team that puts the child at the centre of everything we do. This is a challenging role but, by working in close collaboration with children's Social Care, Health, parents/carers and families, as well as schools, your impact will help us to achieve the best outcomes for the children we support.
