SEND & SEMH Education Opportunities | East Sussex

If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can genuinely make a difference to the lives of young people, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm a Recruitment Consultant with a background in SEND education, working closely with specialist schools across East Sussex to recruit passionate teachers and support staff. Having worked within SEND myself, I understand that finding the right school is just as important as finding the right role.

Whether you're looking for a fresh challenge, considering a move into specialist education, or simply want to explore what's available, I'm currently recruiting across a wide range of SEND and SEMH settings throughout East Sussex.

Opportunities Available

Depending on your experience and interests, opportunities may include:

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

Across both primary and secondary specialist settings.

What Schools Are Looking For

Every school is different, but they all share one thing in common—they're looking for people who genuinely care.

I'm keen to hear from educators who are:

• Calm, patient and resilient
• Positive role models for young people
• Confident building strong professional relationships
• Adaptable and proactive
• Passionate about helping pupils overcome barriers to learning

Previous SEND or SEMH experience is beneficial, but it isn't essential. Many successful educators come from backgrounds in mainstream education, care, coaching, youth work and mentoring.

Why Register?

Working with a range of specialist schools means I can help match you to a setting that genuinely suits your skills, personality and career goals, rather than simply putting you forward for the first vacancy available.

Whether you're looking for flexibility, a long-term position or your next permanent move, I'd be happy to discuss what's available.
