Job description

KS2 Teaching Assistant - Primary| outskirts of Truro

Are you a warm, reliable, and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant who loves supporting children to succeed?
Looking for a full‑time role where you can build meaningful relationships and feel part of a supportive school team?

Teaching Personnel are working closely with a welcoming primary school on the outskirts of Truro (St Austell Direction) who are seeking a KS2 Teaching Assistant to join them full-time after the Easter holidays. This is a fantastic long‑term opportunity for someone who thrives in a classroom environment and enjoys being a consistent, trusted presence for pupils.

 


Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a short‑term stopgap. The school is looking for someone who wants to:

  • Be part of the school community and a very close knit, friendly team
  • Support pupils both academically and emotionally
  • Build strong, positive relationships
  • Play a key role in the classroom team

You’ll be working mainly within a KS2 class, offering general classroom support alongside some 1:1 support, as is typical within primary school settings.

 


About the Role

In this role, you will:

  • Support the class teacher with day‑to‑day classroom learning
  • Deliver 1:1 and small‑group support where needed
  • Help pupils stay engaged, confident, and focused
  • Support behaviour, emotional regulation, and independence
  • Promote a calm, positive and inclusive learning environment
  • Adapt support to meet individual learning needs

Every day will be varied, but your contribution will be essential.

 


Who We’re Looking For

This role would suit someone who is:

  • Experienced working in primary schools (KS2 preferred)
  • Caring, patient, and confident supporting children
  • Comfortable providing 1:1 support when required
  • Proactive, reliable, and a strong team player
  • Passionate about helping children reach their potential

A Level 2 or Level 3 TA qualification is desirable, but relevant school‑based experience is equally valued.

 

 

Why Work With Teaching Personnel?

  • Weekly pay with transparent rates
  • A dedicated local consultant (me!) who listens to you
  • Consistent work opportunities in local schools
  • Access to free CPD training (safeguarding, behaviour, SEN + more)
  • Simple admin through the myTP app
  • Opportunities to move into long‑term roles if you want

We care about placing you somewhere you’ll enjoy — not just filling gaps.
