SEND Teaching Assistant

Working in SEND isn't about having all the answers.

It's about being the person who turns up every day with patience, consistency and the belief that every young person deserves someone in their corner.

Across East Sussex, I'm supporting a range of specialist SEND and SEMH schools as they continue to grow their teams for September and beyond.

Whether you're an experienced SEND professional or looking to take your first step into specialist education, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm recruiting for a variety of roles, including:

• Teaching Assistants
• Learning Support Assistants
• Behaviour Mentors
• 1:1 Support Staff
• Intervention Support
• SEND Teachers
• SEMH Teachers

Positions are available across specialist primary and secondary schools throughout East Sussex, with both long-term and permanent opportunities available.

Schools consistently tell me that qualifications are important, but character is what really makes the difference.

They're looking for people who:

• Stay calm during challenging moments
• Build genuine relationships with young people
• See behaviour as communication rather than defiance
• Celebrate progress in all its forms
• Want to help pupils become more confident, independent learners

Many successful educators have come from backgrounds including mainstream education, residential care, youth work, coaching and mentoring.

Before moving into recruitment, I spent several years working within SEND education myself.

That experience helps me have honest conversations about schools, the young people they support and the environments where educators are most likely to succeed.

Rather than simply matching CVs to vacancies, my aim is to help you find somewhere you'll genuinely enjoy working.
