Tailored to Your Setting

Support for EHCP delivery

At NextGen Teachers, we understand how vital the effective delivery of EHCPs (Education, Health and Care Plans) is for mainstream schools supporting pupils with additional needs. Our specialist SEN staff are carefully selected to provide tailored support that ensures EHCP objectives are met in the classroom, while also helping teachers and SENCOs manage workload and maintain high-quality provision.

Specialists trained autism, ADHD and SEMH

We provide highly skilled specialists trained in Autism, ADHD, and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH). Our candidates are experienced in adapting teaching strategies, creating inclusive learning environments, and providing the right balance of support and structure to help every child succeed.

Staff who adapt to inclusive classroom settings

We know that creating an inclusive classroom where every pupil can succeed is a top priority for schools — but finding the right staff to make this possible isn’t always easy. At NextGen Teachers, we specialise in providing SEN professionals who can adapt to mainstream settings, working seamlessly with your existing team to support pupils with a wide range of needs.

Our experience of working with NextGen Teachers has been fantastic. They are professional, highly responsive and provide excellent candidates to our school who are always well briefed and understand the needs of the pupils and the community we serve. We have found that NextGen goes above and beyond to ensure that they provide an excellent service. Any feedback we provide on candidates is swiftly acted upon resulting in improved experiences for both the candidates and the school.

Since opening our school, we have partnered exclusively with NextGen Teachers for all of our staffing needs. With the challenge of building a strong team quickly, their support has been invaluable. To date, we have successfully appointed over 20 SEN Teaching Assistants, 3 Teachers, and 6 Cover Supervisors/HLTAs on a mix of temporary-to-permanent, fixed-term, and permanent contracts. 

What sets NextGen Teachers apart is their genuine understanding of our school. They regularly visit to meet both staff and pupils, ensuring that prospective candidates gain a clear sense of our values and ways of working. The use of trial days and interviews has been particularly effective in helping us find the right fit for our team. 

We look forward to continuing our partnership with NextGen Teachers for both emergency cover and long-term recruitment as our school continues to grow.

We initially started working with Next Gen last academic year, we were in need of a teacher?with SEND experience at short notice. Finding the right candidate to cover a vacancy in our setting setting is usually really tricky, but the response time from Next Gen was quick, the meet & greet was set up efficiently and the candidate was a real success (we recruited the teacher recently and offered her a permanent contract) 

After this initial success we approached Next Gen to source?some Learning Support Assistants (LSA's) . We were keen to find some male LSA's and Next Gen have provided these for us, they are reliable and attendance?is good. 
We also have a second teacher now working with us daily via Next Gen, she is also very well suited to our provision and is very much a key part of our staff team.?? 

Communication with Next Gen is effective and most importantly, not overwhelming.? School?days are extremely busy and we do not have the capacity to answer numerous emails or phone calls, we just need a quick response when something is required.? And Next Gen provides this, not just in term time but also in non term time too.
