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

Schools across East Sussex are currently looking for educators who are interested in supporting pupils with additional needs within structured and supportive learning environments.

SEND and SEMH settings often work with pupils who require extra emotional, behavioural or learning support in order to access education. Schools value staff who can offer patience, consistency and a positive presence within the classroom.

We are currently recruiting both teachers and classroom support staff who are open to opportunities across SEND and SEMH schools.

Opportunities May Include

• SEND and SEMH teaching roles

• Teaching Assistant and Learning Support Assistant positions

• 1:1 pupil support

• Classroom support roles

• Behaviour and engagement support

• Long-term or flexible placements

Each school environment is slightly different, so the aim is to match educators with roles that suit their experience and strengths.

Who This Could Suit

These roles may be well suited to individuals who:

• Have experience working with children or young people

• Are calm, reliable and able to remain consistent

• Communicate clearly with pupils and colleagues

• Enjoy working within a team environment

• Are interested in building experience within SEND education

Experience within SEND or SEMH is helpful but not essential. Many schools provide guidance and support for the right candidates.
