KS2 Teaching Assistant – September Start

Truro Area | Long-Term Opportunity | Potential Permanent Position

£14.25 per hour | 08:45am – 1:00pm | School Term Time Only

Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference to children's learning, while enjoying a fantastic work-life balance?

Teaching Personnel are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in the Truro area from September. Working within a mixed Key Stage 2 class, this is an excellent opportunity to become a valued member of a supportive school community, with the potential for the role to become permanent for the right candidate.

About the Role

You will play a key role in supporting pupils throughout their learning journey, helping them to build confidence, independence, and achieve their full potential.

Your responsibilities will include:

✅ Supporting teaching and learning within a KS2 classroom

✅ Working with small groups and individual pupils

✅ Delivering intervention activities to support progress

✅ Encouraging positive behaviour and engagement

✅ Helping create a nurturing and inclusive learning environment

✅ Working collaboratively with teachers and support staff

This is the perfect opportunity for someone who enjoys building positive relationships and seeing the direct impact of their support every day.

Who We're Looking For

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience working with primary-aged children
• Are confident supporting learning within KS2
• Are patient, proactive, and approachable
• Enjoy helping children overcome barriers to learning
• Can build strong relationships with pupils and staff
• Have a positive, can-do attitude

Teaching Assistant qualifications are welcomed but not essential. Experience and the right attitude are equally important.
