Job description

Job Title: Secondary School Teaching Assistant – Huddersfield
| Full-time & part-time available | ⏰ Flexible hours to suit you

Do you enjoy working with young people? Do you want to make a real difference in a secondary school?
You might just be the person we are looking for.

We are seeking Teaching Assistants to support students across secondary schools in Huddersfield. You will be working in the SEN departments, helping pupils thrive in their learning, one-on-one, in small groups, or the wider classroom. You will also be working in mainstream classes, supporting class teachers in the delivery of lessons.

Experience with SEN is a bonus—but not a dealbreaker. What matter most are your energy, empathy, and enthusiasm. Maybe you have experience in youth work, sports coaching, or you studied a course like psychology? If you know how to build rapport and motivate young people, you are more suited to the role than you may think.

What you will be doing:

  • Supporting students with additional needs so they can engage, learn, and grow

  • Working closely with teachers to deliver tailored support

  • Creating a calm, inclusive learning environment

  • Bringing positivity, patience, and a sense of humour to every school day

What we are looking for:

  • Someone caring, confident, who loves a challenge

  • Previous experience with SEN—or a willingness to learn

  • People from sports, coaching, youth work, or psychology backgrounds 

  • An enhanced DBS on the update service or willingness to apply for one

Why join Teaching Personnel?

  • Weekly pay and flexible hours to fit around your life

  • Free CPD and training to keep your skills up to date

  • Friendly consultant working with you tirelessly 101

  • A chance to make a real difference in young lives

We work with a range of schools throughout Huddersfield and surrounding areas (Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Halfiax, North Yorkshire). If this role is not in your area, please do still apply. There will be a school and role nearby!

If you are interested in this role please apply through this advert or apply on our Teaching Personnel website.

Teaching Personnel is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We undertake safeguarding checks on all workers in accordance with DfE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ this may also include an online search as part of our due diligence on shortlisted applicants.
