A supportive education setting in Hayes is looking for an experienced Specialist SEND Education Practitioner to join its team from January.
This is a long-term opportunity for someone who wants to continue making a direct difference to young people while becoming a more knowledgeable and confident SEND professional.

- Providing targeted one-to-one and small-group support.
- Delivering structured SEND interventions.
- Supporting pupils to work towards EHCP and individual targets.
- Identifying barriers to learning and engagement.
- Adapting activities around individual learning needs.
- Supporting communication and social interaction.
- Helping young people develop emotional regulation strategies.
- Promoting confidence, resilience and independence.
- Monitoring progress and recognising when support needs to change.
- Sharing observations with teachers and SEND professionals.
- Contributing to personalised approaches for individual pupils.
- Working collaboratively with the wider education team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What Do You Want to Be Better At by Next Summer?
Perhaps you want more experience supporting autistic pupils.
Maybe you want to understand SEMH and behaviour in greater depth.
You could be looking for more involvement with EHCPs, interventions and personalised learning.
Or you might want to develop the confidence to eventually move into a more senior position.
Whatever Your Longer-term Direction, The Aim Is Simple
By the end of this placement, you should have more to offer than you did when you started.
Build a Career Around Your Strengths
The experience developed in specialist SEND roles can lead in many directions.
Depending on your interests, experience and qualifications, you could eventually progress towards:
- HLTA
- Lead SEND Practitioner
- Behaviour or SEMH Specialist
- Pastoral Lead
- Teacher
- Specialist Teacher
- SENCO
You don't need to decide your entire career now.
But choosing roles that continually expand your experience can help you discover where your strengths lie.
Is This the Right Next Step for You?
You may already be working as a SEND Teaching Assistant, HLTA, Learning Support Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, Pastoral Practitioner or Specialist Support Assistant.
