About the Role

As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll work alongside teachers and school staff to provide valuable support to pupils with a range of academic, social, and behavioural needs.

• Supporting pupils during lessons to encourage participation and engagement
• Assisting with literacy and numeracy tasks
• Encouraging positive behaviour and classroom routines

• Working collaboratively with teachers and school staff to support pupil progress

This is a highly rewarding, people-focused role where your support can have a lasting impact on a child’s education and development.

• Calm, patient, and dependable
• Positive role models with a friendly and confident approach
• Flexible and comfortable working across different school settings
• Strong communicators who work well within a team

Previous experience in education, childcare, coaching, youth work, or care settings is beneficial, but not required.

• Ongoing CPD training and development opportunities
• A Guaranteed Work Scheme for eligible applicants
• Competitive weekly pay
• Additional pay for longer journeys or extended hours
