THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SHOFA’S MARKET

Children’s Services in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where courageous and inspiring professionals bring everything to their work.

Sometimes this even includes heartbreak. Shofa is a shining example. Shofa’s brother suffered with his mental health and died tragically young. She uses his memory as motivation to give Westminster Youth Council members the opportunity to have a voice and get involved in decision making. This passion resulted in in her innovation: The Westminster Youth Market. Here local teenagers learn about entrepreneurship and develop their personal skills. This is an inclusive platform where everyone’s contribution and abilities are celebrated. Inspired by a promising life cut short, Shofa believes without vision there is no direction and every young person should be supported to realise their dreams.

Please view the extraordinary story of Shofa’s Market here.

The Role:

As Education, Health and Care Assessment and Review Coordinator, you too can make a powerful contribution. You’ll be joining and helping to improve one of the best SEND services in the country. Our Westminster Local Area Ofsted 2020 SEND inspection was really positive, and the 2022 inspection for Kensington and Chelsea built on that success. As we’re a bi-borough team, you’ll be supporting children across the two.

As the EHC Assessment and Review Coordinator, you’ll be the primary, face-to-face contact for children, young people and their families. You’ll complete an EHC Needs Assessment and a review of EHCP processes. As part of our Annual Review team, you’ll also provide amends to existing EHC plans, consulting for placements and processing phased transfers. We want to ensure that all educational transitions are well managed. Your approach will be person centred and outcome focused, with transparency and respect both being key. You’ll aim to ensure that children, young people and families are treated as equal partners in the assessment and planning process.

For your caseload, you’ll set up and maintain positive and professional working relationships with families, education, social care and health services – all while keeping compliance responsibilities in mind. While you’ll facilitate a multi-agency approach, the drawing up of a consistent, joined-up plan will sit with you. Where appropriate, you’ll assist the family with making decisions about how to best use their budget.

You’ll provide effective, efficient commissioning of suitable educational provision and school placement for children and young people with an EHCP, focusing on accountability for outcomes. To strengthen children’s links with the community, you’ll develop initiatives and partnerships. As well as this, you’ll challenge providers when outcomes are not achieved and find the best course of action.

Plus, you’ll work with the SEN Team Manager or Senior EHC Coordinator to prepare and follow up on tribunal cases, making sure all actions are completed on time.

We’d like you to be a champion for technology – using it for case management, tracking and monitoring. Also, you’ll ensure that systems are clearly and consistently updated with all relevant information in a timely manner.

We work mostly school hours and are in the locality at least twice a week. We’re an incredibly busy, dedicated team, handling high pressure situations often. Still, we’ve found that the reward of making a genuine positive difference counterbalances the challenges that we face.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information

About You:

To be a good fit, you’ll have successfully managed an SEN caseload and complex caseload before. This may have been in an educational setting, local authority or with young people in a related field. This will have given you detailed knowledge of the Children & Families Act (2014); SEN Code of Practice 2015 and Education Act 1996 and any subsequent revisions or new legislation and successful experience of applying this in practice is essential. Also, you have knowledge of Equalities Act, Mental Capacity Act and Safeguarding legislation. You’ve gained a sound understanding of the pathways through the education system for children and young people, and a clear understanding of matters relevant to Preparation for Adulthood. Ideally, you’ll have specialist knowledge or an advanced skillset in one or more priority SEN areas.

You’ve led colleagues before. Either through supervising their caseload or through management. Plus, you’ve developed them through training.

Excellent interpersonal and clear communication skills are core to this role. You can support shared problem solving with children, young people, parents and practitioners. Working in partnership with others is important to you. When the situation calls for it, you’re able to negotiate effectively and resolve conflicts.

Superb organisational and administrative skills are key. You can manage competing demands and meet deadlines within timelines. Also, you’re confident using Microsoft Office and a case management system.

We’re interested in any relevant SEN qualifications or experience.
