SEND Education Roles – Flexible Opportunities Across Newcastle
I’m a recruitment consultant with a background in SEND education, working closely
with SEND and SEMH schools across Newcastle, 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 Newcastle
• 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
Practical Details
• Opportunities available across Newcastle
• Immediate and upcoming roles
• Rates of pay depend on the role: teaching roles are paid to scale, and Teaching
Assistant / LSA roles are paid at £89.38 per day negotiable
• A child-only/ child and adult DBS is required for school-based work — we’ll support you through
the process if needed
