SEND and Inclusion Careers

‘Shape the future of Inclusive Education with justteachers’

At justteachers, we believe every child deserves the right support to thrive. That’s why we recruit and develop specialist educators who are passionate about making a difference for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Whether you are a teacher, teaching assistant, or specialist practitioner, we’ll connect you with schools where your skills and values can have the greatest impact.

The Changing Landscape: Inclusive Education

The latest SEND reforms place a strong focus on:

Early identification and intervention so children get support sooner.
Consistency of provision across all schools.
Collaboration between educators, families, and specialist services.
Inclusive practice so pupils with SEND can thrive in mainstream schools where possible.

This means schools are actively seeking SEND specialists who can:

Support pupils within mainstream classrooms.
Deliver targeted interventions that reduce barriers to learning.
Share inclusive strategies with wider teaching teams.
Help ensure every learner, regardless of need, can access the curriculum.

As a SEND candidate with justteachers, you’ll be at the heart of this positive change.

Who We’re Looking For

‘The People Behind the Impact’

Supporting children with SEND requires more than experience- it takes compassion, resilience, creativity, and adaptability. We recruit people who can:

Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils.
Adapt strategies to meet individual needs.
Support communication, behaviour, and wellbeing.
Bring patience, consistency, and enthusiasm to every setting.

Many of our SEND professionals come from education, but we also welcome candidates from care, social services, the armed forces, and the police- people with proven skills in communication, resilience, and managing complex situations.

Roles We Recruit For

We provide schools with SEND specialists across a range of roles, including:

SEND Teachers (mainstream and specialist settings)
Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants
Behaviour Mentors & SEMH Specialists
Speech & Language Therapy (SALT) support staff
Staff trained in Autism, Makaton, BSL, PECS & communication strategies
Support staff skilled in personal care, manual handling & PEG feeding
Exam Invigilators, Cover Supervisors, and Inclusion Support roles

We offer opportunities on a day-to-day, short-term, long-term, or permanent basis– tailored to your career goals.

What Schools Need (and Where You Fit in)

Schools increasingly want candidates who can:

Deliver specialist support within inclusive classrooms.
Work flexibly across mainstream, specialist, and alternative provision environments.
Share knowledge and strategies that benefit the whole school community.
Contribute to a culture of inclusion, supporting pupils both academically and emotionally.

By joining justteachers, you’re not only meeting current needs- you’re helping shape the future of inclusive education.

In September of 2022, I took the plunge and changed my career trajectory by accepting a job at JustTeachers (JT). I had never before worked with young people, instead having spent 13 years doing the same job at a GP practice. Missing out on time with my children had weighed me down for years, so I discussed the possibility of a job change with my nephew–who, at the time, was working with JustTeachers. After speaking to him, I reached out to JT and the rest, as they say, is history!

I couldn’t be happier with my new career path. Every minute I spend working with kids, making a difference in their lives, is incredibly gratifying. Thanks to JT, I now have a permanent position that has come a long way since my first job as a substitute teacher.
