Primary Teacher & TA

‍♀️ Primary Education Needs You

Flexible Teaching & Support Roles Across the East Sussex Coast

Calling all classroom heroes, calm-in-a-crisis legends, and budding brilliant educators.

Teaching Personnel are assembling our next elite team — and you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

My name is Gabriel and I’m Teaching Personnel’s East Sussex Primary consultant.

I’m on a mission to build a reliable, high-quality education team with a range of abilities, knowledge and experience to cover my schools from Peacehaven through Newhaven, Seaford, Hailsham and Eastbourne.

With a background in events management and estate agency, I know that success depends on getting the right people in the right places, fully briefed, well supported - ready to provide pupils with the best possible care and education.

Rather than sending you into a single posting and wishing you luck, I partner with a range of primary schools across the area, offering a variety of roles, year groups, and working patterns.

The goal?

Educators who feel confident, supported, and able to do their best work — without burning out.

If you’re looking for flexibility, variety, a reset, or a fresh direction in primary education, this is for you.

What’s on Offer?

Roles vary depending on your skills, availability, and superpowers, 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 prefer stability and a regular base.
Others thrive on variety and new environments.
We support both, no matter your working style.

 Who Should Enquire?

You may be a great fit if you:

• Hold QTS and are open to full-time or supply work
• Have experience working with children (education, childcare, tutoring, youth work, coaching, etc.)
• Are calm under pressure, adaptable, and good at building positive relationships
• Enjoy supporting children’s learning and development
• Prefer flexibility rather than being tied to one permanent post

Previous primary school experience is helpful, but not essential. Many roles include on-the-job support — reliability, attitude, and a willingness to learn are just as important as experience.

Why Register Instead of Applying for One Role?

Think of registration as joining the team, not just taking a single placement.

You’ll gain access to:

• Multiple primary school opportunities between Peacehaven and Eastbourne
• Tailored approach and ongoing support
• Honest insight into school environments (no nasty surprises)
• Greater control over where, when, and how you work
• Ongoing placements without reapplying every time
• A dedicated consultant who understands classroom realities — not just CVs
• The award-winning Teaching Personnel’s myTP app allowing for stress-free booking management, real-time updates, and fewer emails to chase

The Practical Stuff

• 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)
