A new and exciting opportunity has arisen for a SEND Transitions Coordinator to work closely with our Pathways transitions worker to provide a link between schools and parents within the local area to enable young people with SEND to make successful transitions to college. We are proud of the partnerships that we create with local schools, employers and the Local Authority agencies to support learners with SEN and/or disabilities to secure positive transition to college, thereby enabling the students to access a positive learning environment and opportunities to develop the skills to live and work independently.

You will co-ordinate transition for students accessing a range of vocational courses, this will involve developing relationships with key stakeholders including the Preparing for Adulthood Social Care teams, the Local Authority and other professionals central to the student's Education and Healthcare Plan (EHCP). You will successfully promote the college study programmes and SEND support networks to build confidence through every step of the transition process.

You will have a sound knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice 2015 and experience and knowledge of working with students with additional needs e.g. Autism, SEND and mental health. Your confident, personable approach in dealing with young people and their families, with an eye for detail in tracking essential information for key stakeholders will build confidence in the college provision. In return, we'll offer you a fun working environment, within a strong SEND Support team where no day is the same and everyday makes a difference to young people in the community.

In return, Abingdon & Witney College offer excellent benefits to our employees including generous pension and holiday schemes (with potential Christmas closure days), continued professional development, flexible working options, corporate gym membership, cycle/tech scheme and much more.
