Job description
This vacancy has now expired. Please see similar roles below...
If you are a person with a caring personality and is passionate about child welfare, but needs a flexible working life, we have the role for you.
Teaching Personnel hire Teaching Assistants for Primary schools across Luton.
When working with Early years and primary age children, it's necessary to have a nurturing and patient personality to help the children develop to meet their full potential at school, and become more independent socially and emotionally.
The general role will mainly include acting as a support to the teacher within the classroom, monitoring and controlling student behaviour and helping them to be involved and engaged in their classroom activities. Early years Teaching Assistants can expect to assist the children in a number of holistic and sensory activities to aid their development. You may also be required to take part in break and lunchtime monitoring where necessary.
The work is mainly on a supply basis and can include day-to-day, week-by-week, or sick/maternity cover but can also offer long term cover and full time opportunities. If you are looking to work reduced hours or on a part time basis, Teaching Assistant hours are around 6 hours per day, between 8.30am - 3.30pm (school hours).
This is a very rewarding role and suitable for some with a passion for childcare, an enthusiasm for education and a need for job satisfaction. If that sounds like you, apply with your CV and a consultant will be in touch!
All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see teachingpersonnel.com/faqs for details.
All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.
Teaching Personnel is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We offer all our registered candidates FREE child protection and prevent duty training. All candidates must undertake or have undertaken a valid enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Full assistance provided.
