• Ensure the Local Authority meets statutory duties under Section 19 and Section 61, maintaining accurate, defensible records aligned with the SEND Code of Practice.

• Develop and implement quality assurance frameworks, including provider audits, site visits and safeguarding checks.

• Support transitions into, within and out of EOTAS provision, ensuring continuity and stability.

Your previous experience as an Reintegration Coordinator - EOTAS Officer:

• Proven experience operating at senior level within SEND, inclusion, alternative provision or high‑needs services.
