Full-Time | Start ASAP | Temp-to-Perm Opportunity

£14.25 per hour | Term-Time Only | Potential Permanent Position

Looking for a role where your support genuinely changes a child's day?

Teaching Personnel are working with a welcoming primary school in the Falmouth / Penryn area to recruit a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join their specialist Additionally Resourced Base (ARB).

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a highly supportive team, working closely with pupils who need a little extra help to thrive both socially and academically.

The role is available on a full-time basis, with the potential to transition into a permanent school position for the right candidate.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't just another Teaching Assistant role.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build meaningful relationships with pupils
• Work consistently within the same supportive setting
• Help children grow in confidence and independence
• Play a key role in helping pupils access learning
• Be part of a specialist team that genuinely makes a difference
• Develop valuable SEN experience with ongoing support

Every day brings challenges, progress, and rewarding moments.

About the Role

You will be supporting pupils with a range of additional needs, which may include:

• Autism (ASC)
• Communication and interaction needs
• Speech and language difficulties
• Social, emotional and sensory needs

Your responsibilities may include:

• Providing 1:1 and small-group support
• Encouraging engagement in learning activities
• Supporting emotional regulation and classroom routines
• Promoting independence and confidence
• Assisting pupils with transitions and social interactions
• Working closely with teachers, SENCOs and support staff

⭐ Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

• Warm, patient and nurturing
• Calm, resilient and positive
• Passionate about helping children succeed
• Comfortable building strong relationships
• Adaptable and proactive
• Committed to creating a positive learning environment

For this role, attitude and personality are just as important as experience.

Why Work With Teaching Personnel?

• £14.25 per hour, paid weekly via PAYE
• Free CPD and SEN-focused training
• Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement
• Full-time, long-term opportunity
• Potential temp-to-perm pathway
• Easy timesheet and availability management through the myTP app
