Flexible SEND Work | Day-to-Day Cover Roles – East Sussex

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.

How It Works

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.

The Role

• 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

Who This Suits

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.

Pay & Details

• 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

What We Need From You

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