Spelling: self-employed. I don't think that "SE", however punctuated, will be widely understood unless it is very easily guessable from the context. It looks odd to me written before a person's name.

Self-employed - misspelling, thank you)
by the way, is hyphen important here?
I'm translating a contract. In the end of it, there is a place for signatures of the sides. I'm afraid, I need a short variant of "self-employed", and I can't find a sample contract, so that I would be sure I have found what I need

"Self employed Adrian K.
Dentist"

Something like that.

Self-employed is a legal term, and as such should be used with care.
Some employers, for example, try to arrange things so that their employes appear to be self-employed. The tax authoritiies do not always agree.
Here is a bit of discussion.

If necessary you can put it in brackets after a name, e.g. "Joe Bloggs (self-employed)". I am not aware of any short variant that would be widely used or understood.
