We are three special schools, a secure unit, a large countywide alternative provision, a vocational free school and one of five teaching schools within East Sussex. We strive to discover success through learning, self-belief and achievement. Pupils are empowered to take responsibility through a personalised curriculum supported by secure systems.

New Horizons, as part of the SABDEN Multi Academy Trust, is an ‘Outstanding’ SEMH Special school and we are seeking to appoint a Resource Assistant, to join our very experienced Finance & Admin Team. We are passionate about creating a safe and supportive learning environment that fosters respect for others, develops resilience, promotes high expectations and prepares our pupils for successful futures.
