SEND & SEMH Roles


Teaching Personnel

£92 - 200 per day

East Sussex

Temporary | Full Time

No

I'm currently looking to connect with educators for a range of opportunities across specialist SEND and SEMH schools throughout East Sussex.

I'm not recruiting for one particular type of person or one particular school. The settings I work with are varied, the pupils have different needs, and the roles range from classroom support through to qualified teaching.

What I am looking for is good people who understand, or are willing to learn, what working within specialist education actually involves.

Before moving into recruitment, I spent several years working directly within SEND education myself. One thing that experience taught me is that the people who do well aren't necessarily those with the longest CV.

They're the people who are consistent. Who build relationships. Who can stay regulated themselves when a young person is struggling to regulate. Who understand that behaviour often communicates something, and who keep their expectations high without losing sight of the individual in front of them.

If that sounds like the kind of educator you are, I'd like to hear from you.

Across my East Sussex schools, opportunities can include:

  • SEND & SEMH Teachers
  • Teaching Assistants
  • Learning Support Assistants
  • Behaviour and Engagement Mentors
  • 1:1 Support
  • Intervention and Pastoral roles
  • Flexible day-to-day work
  • Long-term and ongoing placements

I work across both primary and secondary specialist settings, so there's plenty of scope to find something suited to your experience and interests.

Previous SEND or SEMH experience is always valuable, but it isn't essential for every opportunity.

I've seen people successfully transition into specialist education from mainstream schools, care, youth work, mentoring, coaching and other roles involving young people.

For those without direct experience, I'm particularly interested in people who are patient, reliable, emotionally resilient and genuinely willing to learn.

This matters to me.

SEND settings can be incredibly different from one another, and somebody who thrives in one environment won't necessarily enjoy another.

Rather than just seeing your CV and sending it everywhere, I want to understand what you're good at, what you're looking for and what type of environment is likely to suit you.

That's better for you, better for the school and, most importantly, better for the pupils.
