SEND Education Roles – Flexible Opportunities Across East Sussex
I’m a recruitment consultant with a background in SEND education, working closely with SEND and SEMH schools across East Sussex, and I’m currently looking to connect with quality educators who are open to new work opportunities.
Rather than advertising one specific vacancy, I work with a range of specialist schools offering different roles, settings, and working patterns. My aim is to match people to environments where they feel supported, confident, and able to do their best work.
If you’re looking for variety, flexibility, or a fresh start in education, this could be a great next step.
What This Could Look Like for You
Depending on your experience, interests, and availability, opportunities may include:
Classroom support and learning support roles
Teaching Assistant or LSA positions
Teaching roles within SEND and SEMH settings
SEND and SEMH support roles
Short-term, long-term, or ongoing placements
Primary and secondary SEND settings
Some educators are looking for stability.
Others want variety and the opportunity to work across different schools.
Both approaches are welcome.
Who This Will Suit
This opportunity is ideal if you:
Have experience working with children or young people (education, care, youth work, coaching, etc.)
Are calm, resilient, and confident building relationships
Enjoy adapting to different environments and learning on the job
Like the idea of varied work rather than being tied to one setting
Want honest conversations about what roles will (and won’t) suit you
Experience within SEND or SEMH is beneficial but not essential. Many roles offer ongoing training and support, so the right attitude and willingness to learn matter just as much as experience.
Why Register Rather Than Apply to One Role?
Access to multiple SEND opportunities across East Sussex
Ongoing training and guidance tailored to each setting
Clear, honest insight into schools and expectations
Flexibility and choice over where and how you work
Ongoing opportunities without repeatedly reapplying
A consultant who wants to see you succeed and understands SEND, education, and classroom realities
