Contract Type: Permanent&nbsp;
Hours: Full-time&nbsp;
London Borough of Bromley Council is working hard to do things differently in SEND, to do things better than ever before. We are a forward-thinking Service in an ambitious and stable Local Authority: we are champions for our children and young people with Special Educational Needs, and we all work hard to make sure that we’re doing as much as possible to deliver solid outcomes and great opportunities for our students.&nbsp;
We’ve changed how we do things, and with a new-look service taking shape, we’re wanting to take on 12 EHC Coordinators. There’re opportunities across our new assessments team, our 0 – Year 8 team and our new Preparing for Adulthood team.&nbsp;
Why Bromley?&nbsp;
Are you passionate about improving the outcomes and increasing opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs? Do you have a care and concern to see SEN done differently, to see SEN done better?&nbsp;
If so, this is your opportunity to join a high-performing, highly-focussed and dedicated SEN Service, where we put children and young people first.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We invest in our people too, where teamwork and collaboration matters, where learning and development are not jut tick-boxes once a year, but a part of our processes. We celebrate success, and every piece of work you do will help shape a brighter, fairer, more inclusive future for those with SEN.&nbsp;
We offer a generous package including competitive pay, career average pension scheme, flexible working practices and the Bromley employee benefits scheme; Cycle2Work, Salary Sacrifice Lease Car, Technology Scheme, GymFlex and a wide range of local and national discounts.&nbsp;
About you, and your responsibilities:&nbsp;
You might have experience from a Local Authority background, from a school, college, or Early Years background, you might come from a Health Service or third sector background too. Certainly, you’ll have a good knowledge and experience of the SEN system, and you will have a demonstrable understanding of the SEN Code of Practice, and you’ll be aware of changes that might be coming in the SEN system, and what that might mean for councils, schools, and most of all children and young people.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For those wanting to join our PFA team, you’ll have an understanding of what it means to Prepare for Adulthood, and a working knowledge of the concept of post-16 and post-18 provision and placements.&nbsp;&nbsp;
You’ll be good at communicating, able to share the positive and the difficult messages which come with SEN, confident in the knowledge that your managers and local leaders will support you. You’ll do this with empathy, with kindness, but also with clearness and confidence.&nbsp;&nbsp;
You’ll be well organised and able to balance competing priorities day to day, and you’ll understand why good record keeping is important, and most importantly, do it. You’ll understand that SEN is not just the school or setting, not just the Council, not just the Health Service, but that we all have a part to play, when, how, and why.&nbsp;
We are committed to working with the best candidates and the best colleagues, so the recruitment of EHC Coordinators will continue until we have all roles filled.&nbsp;
Interviews will also be on an ongoing basis, every week in December to begin with.&nbsp;
If this sounds like you, like the work and job you want to do, in a place you want to be, please do not hesitate to apply, we look forward to hearing from you soon.&nbsp;

London Borough of Bromley Council is working hard to do things differently in SEND, to do things better than ever before. We are a forward-thinking Service in an ambitious and stable Local Authority: we are champions for our children and young people with Special Educational Needs, and we all work hard to make sure that we’re doing as much as possible to deliver solid outcomes and great opportunities for our students.&nbsp;

If so, this is your opportunity to join a high-performing, highly-focussed and dedicated SEN Service, where we put children and young people first.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We invest in our people too, where teamwork and collaboration matters, where learning and development are not jut tick-boxes once a year, but a part of our processes.

StreetScene Deputy Operations Manager&nbsp; 
£44,075 - £ 51,356 per year
Permanent 
Full time with a range of flexibilities, including hybrid working, aligned to our Worksmart arrangements
East Devon
About the role
If&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;someone who thrives on variety, loves being&nbsp;out and about, and takes real pride in seeing the impact of your work across a whole district, this could be your next big move.&nbsp;
We’re&nbsp;looking for an experienced, hands-on leader to help shape the future of East Devon’s StreetScene services. You&nbsp;will manage&nbsp;a team of Area Officers who look after everything from parks and grounds maintenance to street cleansing, coastal defences, toilets across the district, and support for some of&nbsp;East Devon’s&nbsp;most beloved community events.&nbsp;
Every day is&nbsp;different,&nbsp;and&nbsp;you’ll&nbsp;be expected to split your time across the Exmouth and Manstone depots. One moment&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;planning improvements or driving cultural change, the next&nbsp;you’re&nbsp;troubleshooting an urgent issue, supporting a team member, liaising with a community group, or stepping in to ensure smooth operations.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be at the heart of a service that is highly visible, hugely valued, and central to how East Devon looks and feels.&nbsp;
This role is perfect for someone with a strong operational background—ideally across StreetScene functions—who enjoys leading multifunctional teams, driving performance, and fostering a positive, forward-thinking culture.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;also be comfortable with budgets, health and safety, resource planning, and occasionally rolling up your sleeves when the district needs you.&nbsp;
With stunning natural surroundings, a supportive and varied team, and the chance to deliver meaningful improvements for local communities, this is a job where you can genuinely see the difference you make.&nbsp;
You’ll&nbsp;be responsible for:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Leading and developing our Area Officers to ensure a proactive,&nbsp;resilient&nbsp;and forward-planning team&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Raising and&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;high service standards across a wide range of public spaces&nbsp;</li>

<li>Managing budgets, resources,&nbsp;procurement&nbsp;and operational planning&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Deputising for the StreetScene Operations Manager and responding to out-of-hours emergencies&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Driving improvement projects and championing continuous learning&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
About you
You’ll bring an NVQ Level 4 in Leadership/Management (or equivalent experience), plus a relevant Level 3 qualification. Experience in high-risk operational environments, ideally within environmental or public realm services, is essential.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be a confident leader—organised, calm under pressure, customer-focused, and ready to take ownership. A full driving licence and flexibility to respond to the unexpected are must-haves.&nbsp;
About us 
StreetScene offers the opportunity to make a visible and lasting impact on how East Devon looks and feels. The service works closely with colleagues and a wide range of community groups—including Green Flag, Britain in Bloom and Blue Flag partners—to deliver impressive outcomes with limited resources, while supporting major local events such as Sidmouth Folk Week and Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels. Our broad knowledge of the district places us in a unique position to assist teams across the Council, often acting as the trusted first point of contact when issues arise. As one of the most publicly visible services, operating seven days a week, StreetScene provides both challenge and a strong sense of purpose. It is a role where the contribution you make is highly valued by both the Council and the community.
You will be part of a Gold Investors in People (IiP) organisation which works together with local people to create great value services and an outstanding community, economy and environment in which people want to live, work, visit and enjoy now, and for future generations.&nbsp; And with our wide range of health and wellbeing benefits, our highly flexible and collaborative hybrid Worksmart working arrangements as well as our commitment to continuous learning and development, you can be confident of joining a dedicated community of colleagues who are Happy, Healthy and Here.
