Teaching Assistant

Looking for a role where every day brings something new?

We’re seeking motivated and adaptable individuals to join us as Unqualified Teaching Assistants, supporting a range of schools across the Norwich area.

If you’re reliable, proactive, and keen to make a genuine difference, this could be the perfect fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting pupils during lessons to keep them focused and engaged

• Assisting with literacy and numeracy activities

• Encouraging positive behaviour through consistency and clear guidance

• Helping to create a structured, inclusive, and welcoming classroom environment

• Collaborating with teachers and other staff to support student progress

• Calm, dependable, and resilient

• Positive role models with a confident approach

• Flexible and open to working in different school environments

• Strong communicators who thrive in a team

Experience in education, childcare, coaching, youth work, or care is a bonus — but not essential.

• Guaranteed Work Scheme (for eligible applicants) — get paid even on quieter days

• Competitive weekly pay

• Additional pay for longer travel or extended hours

• Easy-to-use online systems

• Continued support from a dedicated consultant
