Why Work in SEND?
Working in a SEND role is more than just a job—it’s a chance to transform lives. Every day brings a new opportunity to help a young person develop, grow in confidence, and discover their potential.

Who We’re Looking For
We work with a wide range of schools including specialist SEND schools, mainstream schools with dedicated SEND departments, and alternative provisions. These settings are looking for staff who are empathetic, patient, and committed to helping every child achieve their potential.
​
We recruit for a variety of roles including:
SEN Teachers
As a special education teacher, you’ll create personalised learning plans and deliver engaging, supportive lessons to pupils with a range of needs including autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) challenges. Whether you're already an experienced SEN teacher or a mainstream teacher looking to transition into special education, we can help you find a role that fits your experience and goals.
SEND Teaching Assistants
Working alongside teachers, SEND teaching assistants play a crucial role in the classroom. You’ll support pupils with their learning, communication, and behaviour, either one-to-one or in small groups. This role is ideal for someone who is compassionate, hands-on, and ready to make a positive impact every day.

SEND Support Workers
SEND support workers are essential in providing both academic and emotional support to pupils with more complex needs. This role often extends beyond the classroom, including personal care, assisting with transitions, and supporting pupils during off-site activities. It’s a deeply rewarding position for individuals who are nurturing and resilient.
