Panoramic Associates is exclusively supporting London Borough of Brent with the recruitment of SEND Area Coordinators to help deliver one of the country's most ambitious SEND transformation programmes.
These are brand new roles forming part of Brent's Experts at Hand model, bringing together education, health and families through locally based multidisciplinary teams to provide earlier, more coordinated support for children and young people.
Rather than managing large teams, you'll be responsible for building relationships, developing local partnerships and coordinating professionals across education, health and wider services to ensure children receive the right support at the right time.
