Why Southwark?
Southwark offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of Preparing for Adulthood, supporting young people with SEND to move confidently into further education, employment, training, and independent living. As a PfA EHCP Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in shaping high‑quality, outcome‑focused EHC plans that genuinely prepare young people for adulthood.
You’ll work collaboratively with young people, families, education providers, health, social care, and adult services, in a borough that values coproduction, strengths‑based practice, and inclusion. With a strong focus on professional development, reflective practice, and supportive leadership, Southwark is a place where your expertise can make a real and lasting difference.
What You'll Be Doing
- Coordinating Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) for young people aged 14–25, with a strong focus on Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) outcomes.
- Leading and managing EHCP processes, including annual reviews, transitions, and amendments, ensuring plans are timely, lawful, and high quality.
- Working directly with young people and families to ensure their aspirations, views, and strengths are central to planning.
- Collaborating with education providers, health, children’s and adult social care, and employment services to support successful transition to adulthood.
- Promoting outcome‑focused planning across the four PfA areas: employment, independent living, community inclusion, and health.
- Managing complex cases and supporting effective problem‑solving across agencies to improve outcomes.
