Thinking About Moving from Mainstream into SEND?

There’s usually a moment where it crosses your mind.

You’ve worked in mainstream. You're qualified. You know how to teach. But you’re starting to feel drawn towards something different, something more individual, more relational, more meaningful on a day to day level.

At the same time, it can feel like a big step.

Will I be able to do it well?
What if I choose the wrong setting?
What does a good SEND school even look like?

That’s where we come in.

At Parker Smith Inclusion, we specialise in supporting teachers to make the transition from mainstream into SEND, and we do it properly. This isn’t about sending your CV out and hoping for the best. It’s about understanding you first.

We take the time to get to know:

  • The kind of teacher you are
  • What’s pulling you towards SEND
  • The environments where you will genuinely thrive

I work closely with schools across Barking and Dagenham and Havering, supporting with permanent and long term roles only. That means we are focused on finding you something stable, considered, and right for you.

We can introduce you to a range of settings, including:

  • Specialist provisions within mainstream schools

  • Autism specific environments

  • SEMH settings

  • Special schools

And importantly, we will talk you through what these actually look like day to day, not just what is written in a job description. All permanent roles are paid to scale, and the process is tailored around you from start to finish.

This is not about rushing you into SEND. It is about helping you make a move that feels right and supporting you every step of the way.
