SEN jobs in Northumberland

About sen education in Northumberland

SEN settings in Northumberland — specialist provisions and resourced units within its 175 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, Northumberland's schools and nurseries educate around 42,000 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 Alnwick, Morpeth and Hexham, 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 North East 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.

Northumberland is England's northernmost county, with around 175 schools and nurseries educating over 42,000 children. The county covers a vast area from Alnwick and Morpeth to Hexham, Berwick-upon-Tweed and Cramlington.

Northumberland's rural character means many schools are smaller community settings where supply staff play a vital role. The county also has larger schools in towns like Morpeth and Cramlington with regular demand for cover.
