Overview

We currently have an exciting opportunity to support improvement and transformation programmes across our local area. The successful post holder will work alongside our partners in education, health and care and other key stakeholders. This post offers the opportunity to contribute towards outcomes of children and young people with special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

About Us

In April 2020 Buckinghamshire Council became the UK’s newest council and the residents of Buckinghamshire will be served by a single, unitary council.

Buckinghamshire is an ambitious, rapidly growing county, and our economy is one of the strongest in the country. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and ranks as one of the top rural areas to live in the UK and yet it is incredibly well connected– only an hour from London on the train. The county has a rich history and heritage and is the birthplace of the international Paralympic movement.

We are looking for motivated, ambitious and inspiring people to join us on our journey. Not only will you be an integral part of the unique and exciting transition through the unitary process, you will also be entitled to a range of different benefits to make sure you are happy both at work and at home.

About The Role

The post holder will work in supporting the SEND Improvement Programme, with initial focus being in providing project support with the improvement journey cited in the Written Statement of Action, which came into effect following a visit from Ofsted in Spring 2022. This will require collaboration with a variety of colleagues across Buckinghamshire.
