The station car park is operated by NCP and runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week (ncp.co.uk). The National Rail station page lists 138 parking spaces and a drop-off and pick-up point (nationalrail.co.uk).
Commuters staying beyond a single visit can use the monthly charge of £113, while the daily charge is £7.60 (southeasternrailway.co.uk).

Busy Parking Periods Around Southend Station and the College
Weekday parking demand changes after 10:00 because the off-peak rate begins then, while Saturday and Sunday are off-peak for the whole day (c2c-online.co.uk). That pattern makes earlier weekday arrivals the main period to plan around for drivers using the station car park.
The restriction is particularly relevant around Luker Road and the city-centre approach, where a vehicle over the stated height cannot use the council parking provision covered by the city rules (southend.gov.uk).
