What You’ll Do

You’ll manage statutory assessments, keeping everything on track and fully compliant with legal requirements.

From facilitating communication to resolving conflicts, you’ll ensure everyone is on the same page.
Case management is a big part of the role, so you’ll need to stay organized, juggling multiple cases while keeping meticulous records.

Whether you’re guiding families through challenging processes or working with a team of dedicated professionals, you’ll be part of something truly meaningful.
With opportunities for career growth, ongoing training, and flexible working arrangements, this role also offers a supportive environment for your own development. As an EHCP Coordinator, you’ll not only shape brighter futures for others but also find immense personal reward in the process.
