Why Schools Choose Inspire EHC for SEN Staffing Support 

Why Schools Choose Inspire EHC for SEN Staffing Support 

Finding the right staff to support pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) is one of the most important – and often most challenging – responsibilities facing schools today. With increasing demands on SEN provision, tighter budgets, and a national recruitment shortfall, getting the right people in place quickly and effectively can feel overwhelming. 

At Inspire EHC, we understand those challenges deeply. And we’re here to offer something different: specialist recruitment that is built on care, expertise and relationships – not just CVs. 

We Understand SEN – It’s Not Just a Tick Box 

SEN support isn’t an add-on. For many schools, it’s central to the life and wellbeing of the entire community. We match schools with individuals who are committed, compassionate and trained to make a difference whether that’s experienced SENCOs, HLTAs, teaching assistants or pastoral leads. 

Values-Led Recruitment 

We’re not just interested in placing staff – we’re invested in outcomes. Every candidate we place is selected based not only on skills and qualifications, but on values, resilience and commitment to inclusion. 

That means we don’t just ask what a candidate can do. We ask why they do it and whether they’re the right match for your pupils and school culture. 

Support Beyond the Placement 

Recruitment shouldn’t end with a signed contract. So we stay in touch with both the staff member and the school to ensure everyone feels supported. Our team includes former educators and SEND specialists who genuinely care about what’s happening in classrooms, not just in offices. 

Flexible, Reliable, Responsive 

School staffing needs can change at a moment’s notice. Whether you're facing unexpected absence, looking for long-term cover, or filling a permanent role, we’re ready to respond without compromising on quality. 

We offer: 

Short and longterm staffing solutions 

Emergency and sickness cover 

Permanent SEN recruitment 

Specialist roles, including SEMH, PMLD, ASD and 1:1 support 

We work fast - but never rush. Every placement is considered, communicated clearly and tailored to your setting. 

Working With Inspire EHC Means: 

  • Access to highly skilled SEN professionals 
  • Candidates who align with your school’s ethos and values 
  • Ongoing support and safeguarding assurance 
  • Honest communication and a collaborative approach 
  • A recruitment partner who genuinely gets it 

Let’s Put the Right People in Place - Together 

Every school is different and every child deserves the right support. That’s why we take the time to listen, to understand, and to find solutions that work. 

If your school is looking for SEN staffing support that’s rooted in care, trust and experience, we’d love to help.
