To be part of this project, it is essential that you have Lived Experience of neurodivergence, health conditions or disabilities – yourself and/or as a parent/carer of a child, young person or adult, with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).  Beyond that, please be reassured we will support applicants in understanding the work of Parent Carer Forums and fulfilling the job requirements – do not let the list in the person specification put you off.

  • Highly flexible hours, between 7-14 hours/week, including potential for term-time only working, agreed in negotiation
