Flexible SEND Work | Day-to-Day Cover Roles New

East Sussex

Temporary | Full Time

No

This one's a bit different.

We're not looking for people who need guaranteed, full-time work.

We're looking for people who are flexible, reliable, and open to stepping in when schools need support - often at short notice.


SEND and SEMH schools across East Sussex regularly need last-minute cover.

That means:

  • Calls between 7:30am - 8:00am
  • Same-day placements
  • Some busy weeks, some quieter ones
  • A lot of variety

If you need consistency every week, this won't suit.

If you want flexibility and variety, it works well.


  • Covering Teaching Assistant, LSA or teaching roles
  • Supporting pupils with SEND and SEMH needs
  • Helping maintain structure and calm in the classroom
  • Working across different schools

This tends to suit people who:

  • Want flexibility over routine
  • Have other commitments or income streams
  • Are confident and adaptable
  • Can get to schools at short notice
  • Are happy being "on call" for work

Access to a car is a big advantage - but not essential.


  • Teaching roles paid to scale
  • TA / LSA roles paid at £92.60 per day
  • Work across East Sussex SEND & SEMH schools
  • Fully flexible, day-to-day opportunities

  • A child-only enhanced DBS on the Update Service
  • Or willingness to apply immediately
  • Reliability - if you say yes, schools are expecting you

If this sounds like something that fits your lifestyle, apply or message me and we'll get you set up.
