We are looking for a passionate and self-motivated Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) Coordinator on a full-time basis to work with our Birmingham Supported Internship team.
As an EHCP Coordinator, you will be working collaboratively with a range of stakeholders such as local authorities, parents/carers, and learners. The primary function of this role is to coordinate the EHCP review process in a timely manner to ensure reviews are conducted in line with SEND Code of Practice. The role will ensure that suitable learners are recruited onto the programme and informed decisions are made based on observations, written documents, family contribution, and the learner voice.
As an EHCP Coordinator, you will take responsibility for ensuring the required number of learners are recruited onto the programme each academic year.

Collaborative working with other delivery colleagues is also key; this role will attend case conferencing meetings to ensure that EHCP outcomes are being achieved and embedded into the programme for each learner.
This role requires good organisation, attention to detail, and the ability to keep to timescales and targets.
