September SEND & SEMH Roles

September is one of the busiest and most exciting times within education. Specialist schools across East Sussex are already planning ahead, identifying the teachers and support staff they want in place for the new academic year.

I'm currently working with a range of SEND and SEMH schools across East Sussex, supporting them in recruiting passionate educators who want to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people.

Whether you're an experienced SEND professional or looking to take your first step into specialist education, now is the ideal time to start exploring what's available.

I'm currently recruiting for:

• SEND Teachers
• SEMH Teachers
• Teaching Assistants
• Learning Support Assistants
• Behaviour Mentors
• 1:1 Support Staff
• Intervention & Pastoral Support
• Day-to-day, long-term and permanent positions

Across both primary and secondary specialist settings.

The strongest September opportunities often begin moving well before pupils return to school.

Registering early allows us time to:

• Understand the type of school you're looking for
• Complete safeguarding and compliance checks
• Introduce you to suitable schools before vacancies become highly competitive
• Find a role that's the right fit, rather than simply the first one available

Schools consistently tell me they're looking for educators who:

• Build positive relationships with young people
• Remain calm, patient and resilient
• Bring consistency into the classroom
• Work collaboratively with colleagues
• Have a genuine passion for helping pupils overcome barriers to learning

Previous SEND experience is beneficial, but many successful educators come from mainstream education, care, youth work, coaching and mentoring backgrounds.
