London Borough of Bromley Council is working hard to do things differently in SEND, to do things better than ever before. We are a forward-thinking Service in an ambitious and stable Local Authority: we are champions for our children and young people with Special Educational Needs, and we all work hard to make sure that we’re doing as much as possible to deliver solid outcomes and great opportunities for our students.&nbsp;
We’ve changed how we do things, and with a new-look service taking shape, we’re wanting a SEN Team Manager to join our existing management structure. This role will lead our birth to Year 8 function and team.&nbsp;
Why Bromley?&nbsp;

We offer a generous package including competitive pay, career average pension scheme, flexible working practices and the Bromley employee benefits scheme; Cycle2Work, Salary Sacrifice Lease Car, Technology Scheme, GymFlex and a wide range of local and national discounts.&nbsp;

You’ll be able to show where you’ve made improvement in your team or service in the past, and you will be driven and engaged to keep making things happen. You’ll know all about Annual Reviews, data and performance, and statutory duties of the Council, schools, and services, and you’ll feel comfortable engaging with Headteachers and senior leaders in the Local Area. You’ll be a caring person, but not afraid of a challenge either: you will do things.&nbsp;
If this sounds like you, like the work and job you want to do, in a place you want to be, please do not hesitate to apply, we look forward to hearing from you soon.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Permanent 
Full time with a range of flexibilities, including hybrid working, aligned to our Worksmart arrangements
East Devon
About the role
If&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;someone who thrives on variety, loves being&nbsp;out and about, and takes real pride in seeing the impact of your work across a whole district, this could be your next big move.&nbsp;
We’re&nbsp;looking for an experienced, hands-on leader to help shape the future of East Devon’s StreetScene services. You&nbsp;will manage&nbsp;a team of Area Officers who look after everything from parks and grounds maintenance to street cleansing, coastal defences, toilets across the district, and support for some of&nbsp;East Devon’s&nbsp;most beloved community events.&nbsp;
Every day is&nbsp;different,&nbsp;and&nbsp;you’ll&nbsp;be expected to split your time across the Exmouth and Manstone depots. One moment&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;planning improvements or driving cultural change, the next&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;troubleshooting an urgent issue, supporting a team member, liaising with a community group, or stepping in to ensure smooth operations.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be at the heart of a service that is highly visible, hugely valued, and central to how East Devon looks and feels.&nbsp;
This role is perfect for someone with a strong operational background—ideally across StreetScene functions—who enjoys leading multifunctional teams, driving performance, and fostering a positive, forward-thinking culture.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;also be comfortable with budgets, health and safety, resource planning, and occasionally rolling up your sleeves when the district needs you.&nbsp;
With stunning natural surroundings, a supportive and varied team, and the chance to deliver meaningful improvements for local communities, this is a job where you can genuinely see the difference you make.&nbsp;
You’ll&nbsp;be responsible for:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Leading and developing our Area Officers to ensure a proactive,&nbsp;resilient&nbsp;and forward-planning team&nbsp;</li>

<ul>
<li>Driving improvement projects and championing continuous learning&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
About you
You’ll bring an NVQ Level 4 in Leadership/Management (or equivalent experience), plus a relevant Level 3 qualification. Experience in high-risk operational environments, ideally within environmental or public realm services, is essential.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be a confident leader—organised, calm under pressure, customer-focused, and ready to take ownership. A full driving licence and flexibility to respond to the unexpected are must-haves.&nbsp;
About us 
StreetScene offers the opportunity to make a visible and lasting impact on how East Devon looks and feels. The service works closely with colleagues and a wide range of community groups—including Green Flag, Britain in Bloom and Blue Flag partners—to deliver impressive outcomes with limited resources, while supporting major local events such as Sidmouth Folk Week and Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels. Our broad knowledge of the district places us in a unique position to assist teams across the Council, often acting as the trusted first point of contact when issues arise. As one of the most publicly visible services, operating seven days a week, StreetScene provides both challenge and a strong sense of purpose. It is a role where the contribution you make is highly valued by both the Council and the community.
You will be part of a Gold Investors in People (IiP) organisation which works together with local people to create great value services and an outstanding community, economy and environment in which people want to live, work, visit and enjoy now, and for future generations.&nbsp; And with our wide range of health and wellbeing benefits, our highly flexible and collaborative hybrid Worksmart working arrangements as well as our commitment to continuous learning and development, you can be confident of joining a dedicated community of colleagues who are Happy, Healthy and Here.
