Teaching Assistant Opportunity - Lowestoft Area

Are you passionate about supporting children and young people to achieve their potential? Do you have a caring, resilient, and adaptable approach? If so, we would love to hear from you.

Every pupil is unique, and the right Teaching Assistant will play a vital role in helping them succeed both academically and personally.

• Encourage positive behaviour, engagement, and participation in lessons.
• Help students develop independence, confidence, and important life skills.
• Build positive and trusting relationships with pupils, staff, and families.
• Adapt your approach to meet the individual needs of each student.

What We're Looking For

• Experience working with children or young people is beneficial but not essential.
• A patient, compassionate, and understanding nature.
• The ability to remain calm and resilient in challenging situations.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• A genuine passion for supporting pupils with additional needs.
• A willingness to learn and participate in ongoing training and development.
