Looking to Move Into SEND? | East Sussex Education Opportunities

You don't always need years of SEND experience to become an exceptional SEND educator.

What schools often value just as highly is patience, resilience, emotional intelligence and the ability to build positive relationships.

If you've worked in education, residential care, youth work, coaching, mentoring or another people-focused role, your skills could be exactly what specialist schools are looking for.

I'm currently recruiting for a variety of SEND and SEMH roles across East Sussex, supporting schools that are looking for enthusiastic people who genuinely want to make a difference.

Current Opportunities Include

• Teaching Assistants
• Learning Support Assistants
• Behaviour Mentors
• 1:1 Support Staff
• Intervention & Pastoral Support
• SEND Teachers
• SEMH Teachers

Whether you're looking for day-to-day flexibility, long-term placements or a permanent role, I'd love to discuss what's available.

Why Specialist Education?

Working in SEND offers the chance to build meaningful relationships, celebrate progress that goes far beyond academics and make a lasting difference in young people's lives.

It's challenging, rewarding and unlike any other area of education.
