The aim of this project is to widen the route to employment by focusing on the delivery of Supported Internships within Lincolnshire and to create a local Employability Forum that will bring together all the local partners to support more young people with SEND into paid employment.

The SEND Employment Officer will support the project to achieve its aim of increasing sustained employment opportunities and improved employment outcomes by close work with educational settings, young people and their families, employees and other support agencies.

If, in addition, you are well organised, have developed IT skills, good effective communication skills and are keen to develop a key employment role in the community then this could be the role for you.
