Role summary

You’ll be playing a crucial role within our Children and Families directorate. You’ll be focusing on safeguarding and ensuring educational access for children, young people and adults with special educational needs (SEN) aged 0-25 years.

You’ll be working closely with education providers, early years settings and other stakeholders to address complex safeguarding issues, support child protection procedures, and promote the welfare of children and young people. Using your specialist knowledge, you will build and maintain relationships with attendance leads, headteachers and other professionals.

Somerset’s Education Engagement Service works with Children, Families, Schools and support services to increase children’s attendance and engagement with education. Experience in an education setting or supporting children and families would be an advantage. You should also have an appreciation of the importance of education to secure the best possible outcomes for our young children.

We’re working to improve the lives of Children in Somerset and you can be a key part of that. If you are passionate about making sure children are accessing the education they are entitled to, then we would love to hear your application.

Understanding of the Data Protection Act and confidentiality requirements.
Awareness of equality, diversity, and inclusion policies.
Experience in working with children and young people including children with SEND.
Experience in safeguarding and child protection procedures.
Experience in building and maintaining professional relationships with education providers, partners and other stakeholders.
Relevant qualification to a minimum level 3 or equivalent.

Strong organisational and time management skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Proficiency in using IT packages, including email, Capita 4, EHM and Excel.

Experience in assessment, planning and review of childrens needs.
Relevant professional qualification in education, social work, or a related field.
Training in safeguarding and child protection.
