SEND & SEMH Teachers & Support Staff

SEND & SEMH Teachers & Support Staff | East Sussex

Looking for a new setting, more flexibility or your first step into specialist education?

I’m a recruitment consultant with a background in SEND education, working with primary and secondary specialist schools across East Sussex.

I’m looking to connect with Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants and other specialist support staff around Hastings, Battle, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Lewes, Seaford, Newhaven, Crowborough and surrounding areas.

Rather than asking you to fit one particular vacancy, I’d like to understand your experience 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 background and preferences, we can discuss:

• SEND and SEMH teaching

• Teaching Assistant and LSA work

• Individual and small-group support

• Behaviour, engagement and pastoral support

• Flexible day-to-day cover

• Longer-term and ongoing assignments

Some educators want continuity and the opportunity to build relationships within one setting. Others enjoy variety or need work around other commitments. Both are useful conversations to have.

Who could this suit?

I’m happy to hear from experienced specialist educators, mainstream staff considering a change and people with relevant experience from care, youth work, sports coaching, mentoring or tutoring.

Some school requirements need established SEND experience. Others may allow you to build on transferable skills.

Being able to communicate clearly, maintain boundaries, adapt your approach and build trust with young people can provide a strong foundation.

Why register with me?

Before recruitment, I worked as a Specialist Teaching Assistant and an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant.

I know that finding the right environment involves more than matching a job title to a CV. The pupils, routines, staff team and school approach all matter.

We’ll talk about what you enjoy, the support you value and what would make your next move worthwhile. Once registered, I can contact you about suitable requirements without you starting a separate application for every advert.

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

Pay & practical information

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

You’ll need an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS registered on the Update Service. If you need a new DBS, you’ll need to apply through our DBS application process and join the Update Service. Guidance is provided, with the associated cost covered by the applicant.

We’ll require your full employment and education history and references covering 24 months of employment in total where possible, prioritising recent and relevant employment.

Interested?
