Consultants well-versed in SEND
Our UK consultants are trained in how SEND provision actually works in schools: the graduated approach, where staffing sits within it, and what different needs genuinely require.

Get Started
Strict educator vetting
We put forward staff with clear, evidenced SEND competence demonstrated by:
- How they’ve delivered SEND support
- Tools, strategies, and interventions used
- Clear outcomes linked to plans or progress
- Knowledge of SEND profiles (ASD, SEMH, and more)
SEND-specific consultation
Sending the right SEND staff means we want to learn about:
- Your pupils’ learning profiles
- Whether you need EHCP-driven provision or general SEN Support
- Key behaviour or emotional challenges staff face
- What you value in an educator
Inclusion aims
Inclusion is not just about placement. We ensure that our educators are delivering the right support from day one:
- Pupils with SEND learning alongside peers wherever possible
- Removing barriers to learning
- Promoting participation, belonging, and aspiration
SEND is a specialism, not a side line
Every candidate we put forward has real experience in special educational needs. Your designated ANZUK consultant will match according to the setting, the stage and the specific support your pupils need.
SEND teaching assistants
Classroom and small-group support for pupils across the range of need, from MLD to complex and profound.
SEN teachers & HLTAs
Qualified SEN teachers and higher level teaching assistants for cover, intervention and longer-term posts.
One-to-one support
Dedicated 1:1 staff to deliver EHCP provision, keep pupils regulated and help them access the curriculum.
Day-to-day & emergency cover
Short-notice SEND cover when a key member of staff is absent - vetted people who can step in and settle a room.
Behaviour mentors
Experienced mentors to support SEMH needs, de-escalation and positive behaviour in mainstream and AP.
Term & long-term placements
Continuity matters in SEND. We place for the term or the year, with the same trusted face returning to your pupils.

Let’s hear from
our incredible clients
anzuk education in Newport have supplied my school with well, equipped and professional staff. The service from all the staff has been friendly and professional. They have always ensured the highest quality background checks and ensured that the staff they supplied have fit the needs of the school.
Shannon has been great always going the extra mile. She has made many service visits to the school to update us with new staff that are being made available local to school and offer us support with our supply relationship.
I highly recommend anzuk for any supply and I will continue to use them in the future.
Karl Johansson
Assistant Head. Catch 22
I have been working with ANZUK for the past five years and their service to both of us as a school and their new staff members is exceptional. In what has been a tough period for recruitment within teaching, ANZUK have not only been supportive, but worked tirelessly in ensuring schools have subject specialists.
I must also commend their quality assurance of each teacher. I currently have five teachers who were recruited through ANZUK, two hold middle leadership responsibilities, and all have thrived, blossomed and added great value to our school and community.
Working with Kate has been a dream as she is not only invested in making the transition for both stakeholders seamless, but also continues to pay a strong interest in the development of the staff within the school.
Mark Conroy
Head Teacher, Jubilee High School
The Teaching Assistants provided by ANZUK have demonstrated commitment, compassion and a clear understanding of the diverse and complex needs of our pupils.
Kelly has taken the time to understand our requirements rather than simply filling vacancies, recognising that finding the right personality, attitude and approach is just as important as experience and qualifications. In a specialist setting, continuity, reliability and the ability to integrate positively into an established class team are essential.
I would have no hesitation in recommending ANZUK to other schools.
