• Are confident supporting pupils within KS1, ideally Year 2
• Can build positive and trusting relationships with children
• Have a calm, patient and consistent approach
• Are able to adapt activities to meet individual needs
• Work well alongside teachers, support staff and the SENCO
• Are reliable and able to commit to a long-term position
• Would be interested in progressing into a permanent school role

A Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification would be advantageous, but applicants with strong, relevant school experience will also be considered.

What Teaching Personnel can offer:

• A full-time role with a clear temporary-to-permanent pathway
• Consistent work within one Aintree primary school
• Competitive weekly pay via PAYE
• Support from a dedicated primary education consultant
• Access to CPD and professional development
