EHCP Phase Manager

This is an exciting time to join Barnsley Children’s Service as we’re a council that prioritises Children’s Services, and we want every child in the borough to achieve their full potential, to be safe and happy. Our award-winning council is on an exciting journey of change. It’s all about putting local people at the heart of everything, listening to and doing good for our communities. Here at Barnsley, we live and work by four important values: honesty, teamwork, excellent service, and taking pride in what we do. As part of our team, you can be sure we’ll do all we can to support you in being truly excellent. You see, we prioritise learning and enabling you to achieve your potential. So we’ve created a development process that lets you grow in the way that suits you - whether that’s training to be a leader, or learning flexibly online.

We have an exiting opportunity for an EHC Phase Manager to lead in the developments within our Secondary team. We welcome applications from suitably qualified professionals who are passionate about ensuring equitability, transparency and robustness in SEND processes. You will be (or have been) in a senior position in a relevant setting but whatever your background, you will be able to demonstrate considerable experience and knowledge of SEND, current EHC processes and relevant legislation. You will hold a professional qualification in a relevant subject; have significant experience of working in a similar environment with or for children or young people with SEND and experience of complex administration processes and their management. Detailed knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice (2015), the Children and Families Act (2014) and current processes and legislation is essential for this role.
