Level 3 Teaching Assistant – KS1

Bootle, Sefton | Full-time | Start date: November 2026
£92.63 to £100 per day, depending on experience via PAYE
Long-term with potential to become permanent

Are you a Level 3 Teaching Assistant looking for a role where you can properly settle into one school and become part of the team?

I’m recruiting for a primary school in Bootle that needs an experienced Teaching Assistant to join its KS1 team after the October half-term break.

This is a full-time position with a consistent class and staff team. The school is looking for someone who can get involved from day one, support pupils who need extra help and work closely with the class teacher to keep learning moving.

For the right person, there is potential for the role to become permanent.

What will your week look like?

You’ll spend most of your time supporting children within a KS1 classroom. This will include:

• Working with individual pupils and small groups
• Supporting phonics, reading, writing and early maths
• Helping children understand instructions and stay engaged
• Preparing resources and helping with classroom organisation
• Encouraging positive behaviour and independence
• Providing additional support for pupils who need more time or reassurance
• Sharing feedback with the class teacher
• Contributing to a calm, inclusive and well-run classroom

The school needs someone who is happy to use their initiative rather than waiting to be directed throughout the day.

What are we looking for?

You should have:

• A Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification or equivalent
• Recent experience in a primary school
• A good understanding of KS1 learning and classroom routines
• Confidence supporting children in groups and individually
• A patient but consistent approach
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• The reliability to commit to a long-term, full-time role

You’ll also have access to training and ongoing support from me throughout the placement.
