We are looking for a highly organised, meticulous, and personable SEND Manager, to offer a high level of customer service and administrative support. The postholder will be responsible for managing and delivering the operational and administrative aspects of our SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) service and provision, and will have the ability to precisely follow SEND policies and procedures, ensuring all reviews, communications and written records are completed in a timely and accurate manner.

We are first and foremost looking for highly developed administrative skills as SEND knowledge can be gained over time.

We would love to hear from experienced and detail-oriented administrators who would enjoy providing a first-class service for all stakeholders.
