When a staff member calls in sick or you suddenly need extra support in the classroom, finding reliable SEN cover staff quickly can be a real challenge — especially when your pupils have complex needs and consistency is key.
At ASENEA, we provide flexible, experienced SEN cover staff to special schools across Yorkshire. Whether you need someone for a day, a term, or longer, we’re here to help — without the stress.
Your Go-To Source for SEN Cover Staff
We specialise in supplying qualified, compassionate staff to support pupils with a wide range of special educational needs. All of our cover staff have at least 3 months of relevant SEN experience, and many come with specialist training in areas like autism, ADHD, SEMH, and more.
Every placement is carefully matched to your school’s specific needs — no random CVs or generic agency sends.
Last-Minute Cover? Long-Term Planning? We’ve Got You Covered
Whether it’s an unexpected absence or a planned staff shortage, ASENEA provides a full range of SEN cover staff solutions to suit your school’s needs. Here’s how we can help:
Emergency / Same-Day Cover
Sometimes, you only find out at 7am that someone isn’t coming in. We can arrange same-day SEN cover staff at short notice — often within the hour — so your pupils continue to get the consistent support they need.
Block Bookings
If you know you’ll need cover for several days, weeks, or a full term (e.g. for maternity or long-term illness), we can provide ongoing cover with staff who build rapport with your pupils and settle into your routines.
One-to-One Support
Need additional help for a pupil with high needs or a new EHCP? We supply experienced 1:1 SEN support staff who can work closely with individual students — whether it’s for behavioural support, medical needs, or specific learning plans.
No matter the size of your school or the complexity of your pupils’ needs, we’ll make sure the cover is reliable, suitable, and delivered with care.
