Make a Real Difference at Bure Park Specialist Academy
Come and join our growing team at Bure Park Specialist Academy and be part of the successful Broad Horizons Education Trust.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated, and dedicated EHCP Administrator to join us at our school in Great Yarmouth. Bure Park Specialist Academy is a residential special school for boys aged 6-16 with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. We teach pupils from primary through to secondary, and we are proud of our Ofsted rating of 'Good', with our residential provision rated 'Outstanding'.
Our school shares the vision of our sponsor, the Broad Horizons Education Trust: improving the life chances of all pupils has to be at the heart of all we do. To achieve this, Broad Horizons firmly believes in valuing and championing all members of staff employed throughout the Trust. This is an exciting opportunity for someone wishing to be part of a highly motivated, exceptional team who strive to establish the highest standards and play a fundamental role in changing children’s lives.
The Role
The school office is a very busy and fast-paced environment, and the role of EHCP Administrator is fundamental to supporting the smooth running of the school. You will be responsible for the administration of annual review paperwork for current EHCP holders, coordinating multi-agency involvement, and ensuring statutory processes and timescales are met with meticulous accuracy.
Key Responsibilities
- Timetabling & Invites: Prepare the annual EHCP review timetable, pre-populate paperwork for the Headteacher, and issue timely invites to parents, carers, and external professionals.
- Multi-Agency Liaison: Contact alternative provisions, social care, health professionals (including our Health Officer), and Local Authority EHCP coordinators to gather feedback, secure attendance, and arrange interim reviews as required.
- Meeting Support & Minutes: Attend all EHCP review meetings, take accurate minutes, oversee room allocations and refreshments, and alert staff members to any post-review actions required.
- Quality & Compliance: Proofread all draft EHCP documents prior to sending to parents/carers/professionals, ensure phase-transfer reviews (Y6 to Y7; Y11 to post-16; post-16 to FE) are amended accordingly, upload outcomes to the academy MIS, and submit completed paperwork within statutory Local Authority timeframes.
- Family Contact: Act as the primary point of contact for parents and carers for EHCP questions, issue reminders, confirm attendance, and ensure parents/carers/social workers receive completed review copies.
About You
Personal qualities are of paramount importance. The individual appointed will be expected to display enthusiasm, energy, good humour, flexibility, and reliability, alongside the ability to work independently and as part of a busy team, managing multiple workstreams without losing sight of the finer details.

Essential Requirements

- Very good interpersonal skills with the ability to build strong working relationships.
- Good general knowledge of ICT, word processing, spreadsheets, data-based applications, electronic record-keeping, and general office skills.

- High standards of discretion, confidentiality, and a deep commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
