It happens alongside a pupil who's beginning to trust adults again.

It happens when a child who usually avoids learning decides to give it another go.

It happens through consistency, patience and the right support.

I'm currently recruiting Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants for a number of specialist SEND and SEMH schools across East Sussex.

These aren't just classroom support roles. They're opportunities to become a key part of a young person's journey, helping them overcome barriers to learning and build the confidence to succeed.

Depending on the school, you could be:

  • Supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis
  • Delivering small group interventions
  • Helping pupils regulate emotions and behaviour
  • Supporting learning within the classroom
  • Encouraging independence and confidence
  • Working alongside teachers, therapists and pastoral teams

Every day brings new challenges, but also the opportunity to make a lasting difference.

Schools are looking for educators who are:

  • Calm and dependable
  • Positive role models
  • Compassionate and patient
  • Confident communicators
  • Passionate about supporting young people

Experience within SEND is welcomed, but many schools are equally interested in people with backgrounds in care, youth work, coaching, mentoring or mainstream education.

If you've got the right attitude, schools can teach the rest.

I know how important it is to find a school that's the right fit.

Having worked within SEND before moving into recruitment, I understand the realities of specialist education and take the time to match educators with schools where they're most likely to succeed.

That approach has helped many educators secure long-term placements and build rewarding careers within SEND.
