Visiting Integrative Arts/Play Therapist (Freelance / Contracted). One day per week or two half days per week

We are seeking a qualified integrative arts/play therapist to work with children for whom play therapy or counselling is identified on their EHCP or as part of their school support plan. We are looking for a practitioner who can work therapeutically with children in a way that is trauma-informed, creative, and adaptable to the needs of pupils with complex SEMH profiles.

Assistant SENCO and Outreach Practitioner

The Role: You will support the SENCo in leading our SEND and SEMH provision, deliver outreach and guidance to other settings, and model best practice in inclusive teaching. You'll work closely with staff, families, and external partners to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive.

A key part of this role involves chairing and conducting annual review meetings for pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). You will take overall responsibility for the annual review process, including inviting key people (giving at least 2 weeks' notice, though 6 weeks in advance is recommended), gathering feedback and information from all parties at least 2 weeks before the meeting, and ensuring review meetings focus on the child's progress towards achieving the outcomes specified in the EHC plan. You will also prepare and write review reports within 2 weeks of the meeting, setting out any recommendations in terms of amendments to the EHC plan, and send these to all parties including the LA.
