The successful candidate will be at the heart of our school's operations, ensuring smooth administrative processes while playing a pivotal role in advocating for our students' needs through meticulous EHCP coordination. This role requires exceptional communication skills, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the EHCP framework and special educational needs.
