Teaching Personnel are currently working alongside a reputable mainstream Primary School located in Skelmersdale. We are currently working closely with the SENCO and Headteacher of this fantastic Primary School to source a Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support to a child in Lower KS2. The Headteacher is looking for nothing less than an INSPIRATIONAL Teaching Assistant to start in school from April 2019 or SOONER. This is a new role therefore the school are looking for a practitioner who is interested in a permanent role in school.

Hours - 8:45 - 15:30 with 30 minute lunch break. This role is FIVE DAYS per week.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who has experience working alongside children with complex needs and experiences supporting 'hard to reach pupils'. We are considering candidates who have Youth Work Experience, Residential Care Experience or Nursery Experience.

In order to be considered you must have…

  • Experience working alongside young children within the past 12 months.
  • Minimum Level 2+ childcare relate qualification.
  • An open minded and patient attitude with the ability to build positive relationships with children.
  • Have a passion for delivering high quality education for each child.

This role is to support a child in Lower KS2 with moderate to severe learning difficulties during the mornings and then during the afternoons this will be a general class support role in KS2. The child often displays challenging behaviours; therefore Team Teach training would be advantageous but not essential.

We are able to offer competitive rates of pay for these roles starting at £9 per hour; we also pay on a weekly basis directly into your bank account (no need for umbrella companies).

"I would highly recommend Teaching Personnel to anybody. I have started with them just recently and I've enjoyed my experience so much. It's such a professional company. I was cleared for work and got my first job in no time."

"I have joined Teaching Personnel in March. Within a couple of weeks i was cleared for work and I was at a school straight away. I would highly recommend. Chloe has been a huge helping hand finding me work that is suitable for me. She has always kept in touch asking how the work is going."

"Highly recommend Teaching Personnel if you're looking for a professional, friendly agency to find you work as quick as possible. After leaving my current job and worrying about work, Chloe had lined me up an interview that week for long term supply. Never looked back and really enjoy working for them!"

Chloe has been exceptional with all the help and support she has given me and constantly on the ball at getting into the next school once I have finished a placement."
