As well this, you’ll work closely with colleagues across health, SEND, early years, education, social care and the voluntary and community sector to strengthen pathways, remove barriers and improve outcomes for children and families. You will also be working as part of Families Connect integrated front door team for part of your working week.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape a new service, support a skilled workforce and play a leading role in the development of Calderdale’s Best Start Family Hub SEND offer.
