Primary Teacher & TA

Flexible Primary Education Opportunities Across East Sussex

I’m a recruitment consultant working closely with primary schools across Eastbourne and the surrounding areas. With a background in events management, I understand the importance of matching the right people to the right environments and creating positive, well-supported experiences.

Rather than recruiting for a single vacancy, I partner with a range of schools offering a variety of roles, year groups, and working patterns. My focus is on finding opportunities where educators feel confident, supported, and able to thrive.

If you’re seeking flexibility, variety, or a fresh direction within primary education, this could be an ideal next step.

 What Opportunities Are Available?

Roles will vary depending on your experience, interests, and availability, but may include:

• Primary teaching roles across EYFS, KS1, and KS2
• Teaching Assistant or Specialist TA positions
• Short-term, long-term, or ongoing placements
• Full-time or part-time opportunities

Some educators value stability and consistency.
Others prefer variety and the chance to work across different school settings.
Both preferences are fully supported.

Who This Opportunity Is For

This could be a great fit if you:

• Are Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) looking for full-time or supply work
• Have experience working with children (education, childcare, tutoring, youth work, coaching, etc.)
• Are patient, adaptable, and confident building positive relationships
• Enjoy supporting children’s learning and development
• Prefer flexible or varied work rather than being tied to one role

Experience in primary schools is helpful but not essential. Many roles provide on-the-job support, so reliability, attitude, and a willingness to learn are just as important as previous experience.

 Why Register Instead of Applying for One Role?

Registering gives you access to:

• Multiple primary school opportunities across Eastbourne and surrounding areas
• Tailored guidance and ongoing support
• Honest insight into school environments and expectations
• Greater flexibility and choice over where and how you work
• Ongoing placements without the need to reapply each time
• A dedicated consultant who understands primary education and classroom realities

Practical Information

• Roles available across the Eastbourne area
• Immediate and upcoming opportunities
• Pay varies by role:
• Teaching roles paid to scale
• Teaching Assistant / LSA roles paid at £89.38 per day
• A child-only DBS is required for school-based work (support available if needed)
