DRIVE TRANSFORMATIVE SEND OUTCOMES At EDClass, we believe that every child deserves an education tailored to their unique strengths. We partner with Local Authorities, Schools, and MATs to create a “Digital Safe Haven” for vulnerable, SEND, LAC, and EBSA learners who thrive outside the traditional classroom environment. Forget the static classroom box. Welcome to a dynamic digital ecosystem built to reshape how the UK supports alternative education. By building strong relationships with our educational partner we engineer bespoke, accessible learning pathways. We are seeking a seasoned, forward-thinking Head of SEND to join a culture that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. Your primary role is to deeply understand the journey of every single learner on our platform. You will serve as the Key Cog and the definitive focal point for all student reviews, transforming national statutory frameworks (KCSIE, the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, and the SEND White Paper) into accessible, barrier-free digital realities. About EDClass, the DfE Accreditation and your new role As a Department for Education (DfE) accredited provider of Online Alternative Provision, EDClass operates under the highest tier of national scrutiny, providing an ironclad guarantee of quality, safety, and academic rigor. For our partner schools, MATs, and Local Authorities, this prestigious accreditation transforms EDClass from a simple software vendor into an official, trusted extension of their own statutory teams. The Head of SEND directly leverages this regulatory stamp of approval during high-stakes reviews, using the platform’s meticulous, automated data tracking to deliver ready-made evidence for Ofsted’s Inclusion Judgement. THE FOUNDATIONAL PILLARS Strategic Advocacy You serve as the professional, high-profile face of EDClass in high-stakes statutory forums. This pillar is about shifting the dialogue with Local Authorities, schools, and MATs away from subjective, emotional narratives and grounding it entirely in evidence-based insights. You step into virtual or physical review rooms as a calm, expert extension of the client’s statutory teams, confidently presenting platform analytics to champion and protect the student’s Section F provisions. SEND Leadership You hold the central point of direction and direct management responsibility for a growing, dynamic frontline team of SENCOs and SEND Assistants. Your leadership transforms this department into a unified, clinical front governed by professional distance and the “Data-First” model. Pedagogical Accessibility You bridge the critical gap between available software settings and active classroom delivery, ensuring platform features become live, life-changing interventions. Rather than working with teachers individually, you manage accessibility on a macro level by creating recorded studio masterclasses and instructional videos for an automated Internal SEND teaching, accessibility and delivery Knowledge Base. Factual review jurisdiction You are the unyielding central axis for all reviews involving students on an EDClass seat with an EHCP or SEND status. • LA Commissioning and Strategy Reviews: Partnering alongside the Lead of LA Operations, you anchor high-stakes forums in data., • School and MAT Progress Reviews: You are the anchor for termly, data-driven virtual reviews with school SPOCs and MPOCs., • Command of the EHCP Annual Review: You systematically guide your team to prepare evidence-mapped reports referencing specific Section F provisions. Driving accessibility and Ofsted compliance You aren’t just managing paperwork; you are designing effective interventions and unlocking the world for non-verbal, neurodivergent, and high-need learners. You will bridge the gap between software features and active classroom delivery through an innovative virtual training ecosystem: • Showcasing the “Art of the Possible”: Step into our production studio to record short, inspiring platform walk-throughs from a learner’s and parents’ perspective., • Empowering the Classroom: In collaboration with Content Producers (managed by the Head of Curriculum), you will build an automated Internal SEND Knowledge and accessibility Base for students, teachers, schools SENDCOs and parents., • Capturing the Voice of the Child: You will ensure our review reports map directly to EHCP goals while capturing genuine student feedback through accessible communication tools like symbols, audio tags, and interactive scales (such as the Mood View and Pain Scale). READY TO DEFINE THE FUTURE OF INCLUSION? If you are a seasoned SEND specialist committed to innovation, up-to-the-minute statutory framework implementation, and bringing structured, expert calm to the world of alternative education as our central review focal point, we want to hear from you. We are looking for a visionary Head of SEND to become the ultimate Key Cog and central focal point for our universal review system. This is a high-velocity, high-impact playground for a seasoned specialist ready to uplift a massive portfolio of complex SEND and EHCP learners simultaneously. For the Learners: True Digital Autonomy You dismantle the hidden walls of online learning. Through your design, a non-verbal student, a learner with severe dyslexia, or a student overcoming emotional school avoidance gets an environment where adaptive tools aren’t “extra features”—they are the foundation. For the Parents:Complete Transparency and Peace of Mind No more guessing games or exhausting battles for provision. For the System: The Ofsted Inclusion Standard You are the definitive bridge between raw technology and strict UK statutory compliance (KCSIE, the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, and the SEND White Paper). ARE YOU THE ONE? If you are a seasoned SEN specialist who wants to step away from traditional roadblocks and scale your impact across a massive digital network, your workspace is ready.
