SEND staffing that’s a specialism, not a sideline.
We staff SEND schools, resource bases and inclusive mainstream settings across the West Midlands with specialist teachers, HLTAs, TAs and support staff — matched on specific need, not just availability. Our SEND consultants spend time understanding your provision and propose people we'd want supporting our own children.
Specialism by need
Autism specialists for autism, SEMH for SEMH, PMLD for PMLD — not generalists with one CPD course.
Trauma-informed
Many of our SEND staff are trained in trauma-informed and attachment-aware practice.
EHCP-aware
Candidates understand provision plans, outcomes and the language of EHCPs.
1:1 support
Vetted 1:1 TAs for individual EHCP plans — including high-needs and PMLD support.
Long-term continuity
We push for long-term placements where possible — relationships matter in SEND.
Inclusive mainstream
We support resource bases, ARPs and inclusion teams in mainstream schools too.

How we vet SEND specialists
SEND vetting goes beyond the standard pre-employment checks. We assess each candidate's specific specialism — and we don't put forward people whose only SEND experience is one term in a resource base. Where claimed experience is essential to the role, we verify it directly with previous schools.
