SEN Education Roles Available

SEND & SEMH Education Roles – Horsham and Crawley

Support Staff & Teaching Opportunities | West Sussex

We are working closely with a range of SEND and SEMH schools across West Sussex, with a particular focus on Crawley and Horsham, and are looking to connect with passionate educators and support staff open to new opportunities.

Rather than advertising a single vacancy, we support multiple specialist settings and recruit for a variety of SEND roles, allowing us to match individuals to schools where they can feel supported, confident, and successful.

Available Roles Include:

• Teaching Assistant / Learning Support Assistant (LSA)

• Classroom Support / SEND Support Worker roles

• SEND and SEMH Teaching positions

• Primary and Secondary SEND school placements

• Short-term, long-term, and permanent roles

Opportunities are available across different settings, supporting children and young people with autism, SEMH, ADHD, and additional needs.

Who We’re Looking For:

This is a great opportunity if you:

• Have experience working with children or young people (education, care, youth work, mentoring, coaching, etc.)

• Are calm, patient, and resilient

• Can build positive relationships and adapt to different environments

• Are interested in working within SEND or SEMH education

• Want flexibility or a long-term role within specialist education

Previous SEND or SEMH experience is beneficial but not essential. Many schools provide ongoing training and support — attitude and commitment are key.

Pay & Benefits:

• Support staff salaries range from £21,000–£26,000 per annum, depending on role and experience

• Teaching roles are paid to scale

• Roles available across Crawley, Horsham, and surrounding areas

• Immediate starts and upcoming vacancies

• Ongoing support from a consultant with SEND education experience

Requirements:

• Right to work in the UK

• A child-only DBS (support provided if you need to apply)
