SEND & SEMH Education Roles

SEND & SEMH Education Roles | Teachers & Support Staff | East Sussex

Looking for a fresh start in education, more variety or a setting where your experience can make a difference?

I’m a recruitment consultant with a background in SEND education, working with specialist schools across East Sussex. I’m looking to connect with Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants and other specialist support staff interested in exploring their next step.

I work across primary and secondary settings around Hastings, Battle, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Lewes, Seaford, Newhaven, Crowborough and surrounding areas.

This is a general invitation to register your interest. The aim is to understand what you bring and what you’re looking for, so I can consider you for suitable work as school requirements arise.

What could this look like for you?

Depending on your experience, preferences and availability, we can discuss:

• Teaching within SEND and SEMH settings

• Teaching Assistant and Learning Support Assistant work

• Individual and small-group support

• Behaviour, engagement and pastoral support

• Day-to-day cover

• Longer-term and ongoing assignments

Some educators want consistency and the chance to become familiar with one school. Others enjoy variety or need work that fits around other commitments.

Knowing which approach suits you helps me understand the opportunities you’d like to hear about.

Who could this suit?

I’m happy to speak with experienced SEND professionals, mainstream educators considering a change and people whose relevant experience comes from care, youth work, coaching, mentoring or tutoring.

Some school requirements need specific specialist experience. Others may allow you to build on transferable skills.

Being able to build relationships, adapt your communication, remain calm and maintain appropriate boundaries can provide a strong foundation. So can recognising when you need guidance and being willing to keep developing your practice.

Why register with me?

Before moving into recruitment, I worked directly within SEND education as a Specialist Teaching Assistant and an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant.

I understand that the right match involves more than a job title and your availability. The pupils, school approach, responsibilities and staff team all matter.

We’ll have an honest conversation about what you enjoy, where your strengths lie and what you’d value in your next setting. Once registered, I can contact you about suitable requirements without you having to start a separate application for every advert.

You’ll also have access to professional development through our CPD Academy.

TA and LSA opportunities are paid from £92.60 per day, with qualified teaching roles paid to scale where applicable.
