With a good level of education and computer literacy, you will be using your experience of complex administrative systems to quickly and efficiently prioritise work. Capable of working well as part of a team, handling potentially difficult situations sensitively and picking up new skills quickly, you will be responsible for making a real difference to the lives of children with special educational needs.
