Transition Coordinator - 2 Posts

The Role:

We are seeking dedicated and experienced Transition Coordinators to join our Inclusive Learning and Support team at West London College.

We have two Transition Coordinator posts available, with each post having a specific area of specialist responsibility. Both postholders will work closely with schools, families, local authorities and College teams to ensure learners receive a coordinated and personalised transition from application through to enrolment, induction and progression.

The two specialist areas are:

• EHCP and High Needs Learners:One postholder will specialise in supporting learners with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and high needs funding, including liaising with schools, Local Authority SEND teams and other professionals to ensure appropriate provision and transition arrangements are in place.
• Disadvantaged Learners and Additional Support Needs:One postholder will specialise in supporting learners who have identified barriers to learning but do not have an EHCP, including care experienced learners, young carers, learners with mental health needs and learners from disadvantaged or vulnerable backgrounds.

The ideal candidate will:

• Build strong relationships with schools, SENCOs, local authorities, parents, carers and other external partners to support effective learner transitions.
• Coordinate transition activity from initial enquiry and application through to enrolment and induction, identifying support needs and potential barriers at the earliest opportunity.
• Develop and coordinate individual transition plans, including visits, taster sessions, assessments and appropriate reasonable adjustments.
• Work closely with curriculum and support teams to ensure learners receive appropriate support, including those with EHCPs, high needs and other identified vulnerabilities.
• Monitor early engagement, attendance and wellbeing, identifying learners at risk of withdrawal and coordinating timely interventions to improve retention and achievement.
• Support learners' progression into work experience, supported internships, apprenticeships, employment and further learning.
• Maintain accurate transition records, analyse learner outcomes and contribute to quality improvement and the development of a consistent, College-wide transition framework aligned with Department for Education best practice.
