SEND Teachers & Support Staff

SEND Teachers & Support Staff - East Sussex
Specialist Schools | SEMH | Autism | Additional Needs

I'm currently recruiting Teachers, Teaching Assistants and Learning Support staff to work across specialist SEND settings throughout East Sussex.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from educators around Hastings, Battle, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Crowborough, Seaford, Newhaven and surrounding areas as schools begin the new academic year.

The settings I support vary considerably.

Some work primarily with autism and communication needs. Others support young people with SEMH and behaviour that can challenge. Some pupils have complex learning profiles and need considerably more individualised support than they'd receive within a mainstream environment.

Because of that, there isn't one particular "type" of person I'm looking for.

What matters is finding the right educator for the right setting.

I'm interested in hearing from both experienced SEND Teachers and mainstream teachers who are considering moving into specialist education.

Depending on the provision, opportunities may be suitable for teachers from either primary or secondary backgrounds .

SEND teaching often requires creativity and flexibility. Progress isn't always measured purely through academic outcomes, and successful teachers understand the importance of relationships, regulation, communication and consistency alongside curriculum delivery.

Teaching positions will vary depending on the setting, with pay to scale where applicable.

For support positions, previous SEND experience is useful but isn't always essential.

I've seen people transition successfully into SEND from:

• Mainstream education
• Youth work
• Care and support work
• Sports coaching
• Mentoring
• Psychology
• Social care
• Other child-facing backgrounds
