The landscape of Special Educational Needs (SEN) recruitment has shifted significantly over the past few years. With increasing numbers of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) being issued across England, the demand for qualified SEN professionals has never been higher.
Schools, local authorities, and NHS trusts are all competing for the same limited pool of talent. SENCOs, educational psychologists, SEN advisors, and EHC coordinators are in particularly short supply.
At Vantis, we understand these pressures intimately. Our specialist focus on SEN recruitment means we maintain an active network of vetted, qualified professionals ready to step into roles at short notice.
The key to successful SEN recruitment lies in understanding the sector deeply — knowing the regulatory requirements, the day-to-day realities of the roles, and what motivates the best professionals to move.
