SEND & SEMH Opportunities – Flexible Classroom Roles | East Sussex

Schools across East Sussex continue to recruit educators who are committed to supporting pupils with additional needs in structured and supportive learning environments.

SEND and SEMH settings require adults who can remain calm, offer consistent guidance and help pupils engage with learning in a positive way. For the right individuals, this work can be both rewarding and professionally valuable.

Previous SEND experience is helpful but not essential. Many schools are happy to support educators who are willing to learn.
