Due to an increase in demand of support staff within secondary schools in the new academic year (Sep 2021), I am recruiting Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants to join our bank of talented support staff who can work in secondary schools across Leeds. Bradford and Halifax(UK) via Teaching Personnel.

I am interested in hearing from Learning Support Assistants interested in working within SEND departments, Teaching Assistants or Classroom Assistants who are available both on a full-time and part-time basis.

As a Teaching Assistant and Learning Support Assistant you will support pupils in the classroom, either as a general classroom assistant or specifically working on one-to-one or small-group in the SEN department. Working as a supply Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant or Mentor will give you the opportunity of showcasing to the schools what you can do and it will give you the chance of securing permanent employment. You may also be required to cover the lesson in the absence of classroom teachers, so you must be confident and pro-active in your approach.
