KCC’s Education and SEN division has faced up to substantial challenges and has delivered significant improvements over the past two years.

We are proud of our progress but remain ambitious for further improvement, focusing on sustainable whole system change to better serve children, young people and their families.

Bringing strong personal leadership and accountability, while working within a supportive team, you will improve outcomes through driving further innovation, developing and leading significant change programmes in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders.
