Flexible SEND Cover Work | East Sussex

SEND and SEMH schools across East Sussex regularly require flexible staff to support with short-notice absences and day-to-day classroom cover.

This is ideal for individuals who value flexibility and are open to working across a variety of SEND and SEMH environments.

How It Works

A lot of this work comes through on the day, meaning:

• Calls between 7:30am – 8:00am
• Same-day placements
• Different schools and classroom environments
• Flexible working patterns week to week

If you need guaranteed hours every week, this role may not be the best fit.

If you’re looking for flexibility and variety, it can work really well.

The Role

Opportunities may include:

• Teaching Assistant and Learning Support cover
• 1:1 pupil support
• Behaviour and engagement support
• Day-to-day teaching cover

Who This Suits

This tends to suit people who:

• Are adaptable and reliable
• Can remain calm under pressure
• Are confident entering new environments
• Have experience working with children or young people
• Are interested in SEND or SEMH education

Access to a car is a major advantage due to the nature of day-to-day work, though not essential.
