A vital aspect of the post is to promote good communication links with migrants and providers of SEND provision throughout Oxfordshire.

- Be a member of the Migrant Partnership Team, working with various SEND teams including SEND EY, SEND school Transport, etc
- Supporting migrants with SEND – schools, special schools, specialist units, SEND entitlement, access to provision, understanding nuances of cultural differences, supporting access to special school transport, holiday provision, respite care, EHCP, and OCC SEND teams, school-based Enrichment, clubs activities (both in school and in the community), including voluntary providers
- The creation of a much simplified version of all relevant parental educational guidance for newly arrived migrants
Applicant Requirements of the SEND Support Worker:
- A minimum of 2 years SEND experience.
- Proof of ability to work and live in the UK. Current DBS and 2 x references.
