SEND & SEMH Teachers and Support Staff

SEND & SEMH Teachers and Support Staff | East Sussex

What would you like more of in your next role? You might want to work with a different age group, build on your specialist experience or find out what a move from mainstream into SEND could look like.

I’m Emerson, a recruitment consultant with Teaching Personnel. I’m looking to connect with qualified Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants and staff with experience in behaviour, pastoral or 1:1 support across East Sussex, including Hastings, Battle, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Lewes, Newhaven and Seaford.

Before moving into recruitment, I worked as a Specialist Teaching Assistant and an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant. I know how rewarding it can be when a pupil starts asking for help, joins in with something they used to avoid or feels confident enough to try again. I also know how much the school’s approach and the team around you can shape your experience.

If you’re new to specialist education, I’m happy to talk through how experience in mainstream schools, care, youth work, coaching or mentoring might transfer. Some assignments require previous specialist experience, so we’ll discuss what makes sense for you as school needs arise.
