SEND Tribunals Officer

Working on behalf of a Local Authority, Aatom Recruitment has a new opportunity for a SEND Tribunals Officer on a 6 months contract with a possibility of further extension.

Hybrid role – expectation of being able to come to Derby once a month.

• Working closely with families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities is a central feature of this role. On a day to day basis you will be working with families and young people through a range of forums (mediation, resolution meetings, for example) to address their concerns at the earliest opportunity, and to mediate and negotiate positive outcomes.
• Whether you come from an education background, or other area, you will have the skills and experience to manage challenging situations, resolve conflict and negotiate resolutions all with the focus of ensuring positive outcomes for Children, Young People and their Families.
• While knowledge of SEND and the legal frameworks around it will be an extensive feature of this role, as well as the compliance frameworks that have to be met, what matters more is your holistic and reflective nature, your ability to work with a wide range of individuals and organisations, and passion to ensure that children and young people access the right support, in the right place, at the right time.
• You will have extensive experience of working with high levels of compliance/regulatory codes as well as having the skills and experience to successfully manage conflict and disputes and be able to negotiate resolutions, seeing the opportunities in the challenges identified through appeals and complaints to change process and improve customer experience in order to deliver better outcomes for our children and young people.
• We welcome applications from people who come from non-traditional backgrounds, as training and development will be offered for the right candidate.

If this sounds good to you so far, please apply for immediate contact or call us directly.
