At SENSA, we offer a wide variety of opportunities for passionate professionals who want to support children and young people with special educational needs. Whether you're experienced in SEN or looking to take the next step in your career, we have roles to match your skills, interests, and ambitions. Here’s a look at the key roles we regularly recruit for in Nottingham:

• SEN Teachers
  We’re always on the lookout for enthusiastic, qualified SEN Teachers who are committed to delivering tailored learning experiences. Whether you’re already working in a specialist setting or transitioning from mainstream education, SEN teaching allows you to truly personalise your approach and help students thrive. You’ll support learners with a range of needs including autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and SEMH, making a lasting impact on their progress and confidence.

• SEN Teaching Assistants
  Our SEN Teaching Assistants play a vital role in the classroom, working closely with teachers and pupils to provide personalised support. From one-to-one sessions to small group interventions, you'll be at the heart of a student’s learning journey. These roles are perfect for caring, patient individuals who are passionate about helping every child reach their full potential.

• SEN Support Staff
  As part of the broader support network within a school, SEN Support Staff assist beyond the classroom—helping during transitions, break times, or with specific therapeutic interventions. This role is ideal for those who want to contribute to a nurturing, inclusive environment that supports students socially, emotionally, and academically.

• Learning Mentors
  Learning Mentors are trusted adults who work closely with students facing social, emotional, or behavioural challenges. Your role is to provide consistent encouragement, build positive relationships, and help students stay motivated and engaged in school. It’s a deeply rewarding role that allows you to make a meaningful impact every day.

• Behavioural Support Workers
  If you're calm under pressure and skilled in understanding behaviour as a form of communication, becoming a Behavioural Support Worker could be a perfect fit. You'll work closely with pupils who need support managing their emotions and behaviours, particularly in SEMH settings and alternative provisions, using proactive strategies to help them succeed.

• Behaviour Specialists
  For those with advanced experience in behaviour support, we offer roles as Behaviour Specialists. In this leadership role, you’ll advise on behaviour management strategies, lead interventions, and support school staff in creating consistent, positive environments for all pupils.

• Speech & Language Therapists
  Speech & Language Therapists are key to helping students improve their communication and social interaction skills. We work with schools that need flexible or long-term support from qualified therapists to help pupils build the foundations for learning and connection.

• SEN Management Roles
  Looking to lead? We regularly recruit for SEN management roles such as SENCOs, Inclusion Managers, and Heads of SEN. These positions involve shaping the strategic direction of SEN provision, mentoring staff, and ensuring every child receives the individual support they need to thrive.

No matter your experience or area of interest, SENSA is here to help you find a role where you can make a real difference.
