About the role

The Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Reforms introduced in September 2014 build on the best practice that has been established over the last 13 years since the last Code of Practice was published. They aim to join up services to ensure children and young people get the help they need at the right time and that they and their families are involved in decisions about their support.

 

Haringey Council is seeking to employ a SEND EHC Caseworker. This post offered as a permanent post. This is an exciting opportunity to develop a new role within the Special Educational Needs Team and make a difference to children and young people and their families.
