Last year, the EPS set up and now leads on a multi-agency panel that makes decisions about support for children who are unable to attend school on mental health grounds. There is an ongoing programme of training for EBSA and other key topics, including Precision Teaching, ADHD in the Classroom and Literacy Support. There is dedicated EP support to our colleagues in the Brent Virtual School.</p>\n<p>We work in collaboration with colleagues in the wider Inclusion Service, where the EPS sits and has a leadership role.

Your visibility will bring a sense of reassurance to the residents and they will be able to get to know you.</p> <p>Your job is to connect the dots. People will come to you with problems to solve or questions to ask. More often than not, you will need to rely on others, such as colleagues in repairs or rent teams, for the solutions you need. That’s why being able to network and develop relationships across the organisation will be so valuable to your success.</p> <p>This role has a particular focus on new build estates which the council have just completed. This brings a unique set of challenges.</p> <p>You’ll get to work autonomously and create and manage your own workload. You’ll also be encouraged to be innovative and put forward ideas to help continuously improve the service.</p> <p>Your role will occasionally involve the odd evening meeting but you will also be able to balance your hobbies and interests with a healthy work/life balance thanks to our flexible working policy.</p> <p>If you want to be part of a team that see people as their greatest asset and encourages personal growth please email Louise Fleming (lfleming@lambeth.gov.uk) for further information.</p> <p>For detailed qualifications and requirements, please review the job description and person specification in hyperlink below:</p> <p> </p><p><strong>Job Description and Person Specification</strong></p> <p> </p><p><strong>How to Apply:</strong></p> <p>If you're interest in this opportunity, click on the apply button and complete an online application.
