West Sussex Parent Carer Forum (WSPCF) is an independent organisation for the parent carers of children and young people aged 0-25 with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). We support parent carers by providing information, signposting, and training that equips them in their lifelong caring role and empowers them to participate in shaping services for their children and young people.  WSPCF is hosted by local Sussex based charity Amaze.

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Senior Project Coordinator to help drive the delivery of WSPCF’s priorities, projects and activities across West Sussex. You will be confident in managing multiple priorities, supporting and supervising team members, building positive partnerships and using information, feedback and insight to demonstrate impact and improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND and their families.

Strong communication, organisational and relationship-building skills are essential, along with a commitment to empowering parent carers and ensuring their voices are meaningfully reflected in service development and improvement. This is a part-time, flexible, hybrid role where lived experience really matters.

We are committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe having a diverse workforce at all levels allows us to represent the communities we serve.
