About sen education in Hackney
SEN settings in Hackney — specialist provisions and resourced units within its 95 schools and nurseries in total — book supply staff throughout the academic year. SEN demand outstrips supply locally, so staff with autism, SEMH or complex needs experience are rarely without work. Together, Hackney's schools and nurseries educate around 38,000 children, and that scale keeps SEN cover requests coming in every week of term.
You will follow individual care and behaviour plans, help de-escalate distress and record progress against EHCP outcomes. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Shoreditch, Dalston and Stoke Newington, so you can filter for special schools, resource bases and mainstream SEN provisions within a comfortable commute.
Many staff move from mainstream support into specialist provisions after building experience through supply. Our London team knows these settings personally, so you get an honest picture of the school or nursery before you accept a booking, plus rates confirmed up front in the app.
