Summary

I am an experienced Special Educational Needs teacher with a strong background in assessing pupil needs, coordinating targeted interventions, and working closely with families, external agencies, and multidisciplinary teams. I have extensive experience developing and reviewing personalised support plans, monitoring progress against agreed outcomes, and ensuring provision aligns with statutory guidance and best practice. My work has consistently centred on advocating for children and young people with diverse needs, ensuring their voices and those of their families are reflected in planning and decision-making. I am now seeking to apply my analytical skills, detailed record‑keeping, and collaborative approach within a SEND team to support the effective development, monitoring, and review of Education, Health and Care Plans. I have overseen the full EHCP process—from initial assessment to final drafting—working closely with families, external agencies, and school teams to create high‑quality, compliant plans tailored to each learner’s needs.

As a dedicated, experienced SEN teacher, I have developed strong skills in identifying needs, coordinating provision, and working with families and professionals to secure positive outcomes for children and young people. I bring a thorough understanding of SEND processes, clear and accurate report writing, and a commitment to person‑centred practice. I am motivated to transition into an EHCP Officer role where I can use my experience in assessment, multi‑agency collaboration, and outcome‑focused planning to support statutory processes and ensure high‑quality provision for learners.

With 11 years’ experience supporting children with a wide range of additional needs, I have built a strong foundation in assessing barriers to learning, designing tailored interventions, and working collaboratively with families, therapists, and external agencies. I am skilled at translating complex information into clear, actionable plans and ensuring that support remains responsive, inclusive, and outcome‑led. My commitment to safeguarding, detailed documentation, and constructive partnership working has shaped my practice, and I am now eager to bring these strengths to a SEND EHCP Officer role to help ensure that children and young people receive the right support at the right time.
