SEND & SEMH Education Roles | East Sussex | Be Part of Something That Matters

Some careers are measured by targets. This one is measured by impact.

Every day, specialist schools across East Sussex support young people to overcome barriers that many of us never see.

Progress isn't always measured by test results.

Sometimes it's a pupil walking into school without anxiety.

Sometimes it's a conversation that wouldn't have happened six months ago.

Sometimes it's simply seeing a young person begin to believe in themselves again.

I'm currently recruiting for a range of SEND and SEMH opportunities across East Sussex and am looking to speak with educators who want to be part of that journey.

Opportunities Available

Current vacancies include:

• SEND Teachers
• SEMH Teachers
• Teaching Assistants
• Learning Support Assistants
• Behaviour Mentors
• 1:1 Support Roles
• Pastoral & Intervention Support
• Long-term, permanent and flexible positions

Across both primary and secondary specialist settings.

Who Schools Are Looking For

The schools I work with value people who:

• Build strong, professional relationships
• Stay calm and consistent under pressure
• See the potential in every young person
• Work collaboratively with colleagues
• Bring energy, empathy and resilience to their role

Previous SEND experience is always welcomed, but many fantastic educators come from mainstream education, youth work, coaching, residential care and mentoring backgrounds.

Why Register With Me?

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

That experience allows me to understand the realities of working in specialist schools and helps me match educators with settings where they'll genuinely enjoy working and make a lasting impact.

My aim isn't simply to fill vacancies—it's to build long-term relationships with educators and schools alike.
