At short notice, we were asked to search urgently for a highly experienced SEN class teacher for primary aged students with complex additional needs including in relation to mental health, dyslexia, dyspraxia, social interaction and communication.

Our team was delighted to assist in finding a supportive and capable higher level teaching assistant for a setting working with learners with complex educational needs who needed to have expertise with specific interventions and to have expertise in working with learners with trauma and complex needs.

We successfully identified and placed an excellent senior teacher into this role to lead learning for sixth form age students with complex learning and health needs that have not been able to participate in learning for some time. This role involves understanding learners with complex needs, working in multi-agency teams and having a strong understanding of mental health and the dynamics of learner engagement to devise an appropriate programme to entice each learner back into their education with the right support and within the available budget.
