Make a Meaningful Impact in Education
Looking for a role where your work truly counts and every day feels different? This could be exactly what you’ve been searching for.
We’re seeking motivated, flexible individuals to join us as Unqualified Teaching Assistants, supporting a range of schools across the Greater Norwich area. It’s an excellent chance to gain practical classroom experience while helping students grow in confidence, stay engaged, and achieve their potential.
Whether you’re considering a long-term career in education or simply want a role with purpose and variety, this opportunity offers both.
What You’ll Be Doing
In this position, you’ll work closely with teachers and wider school teams, offering essential support to pupils with diverse needs — academically, socially, and behaviourally.
Expect variety: one day you might help with reading and writing activities, the next you could be encouraging students to stay focused and involved during lessons. Your presence will contribute to a supportive and structured learning environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Assisting pupils during lessons to promote engagement and participation
- Supporting literacy and numeracy development
- Encouraging positive behaviour and consistent classroom routines
- Helping maintain a safe, inclusive, and well-organised environment
- Collaborating with teachers and staff to support student progress
This is a people-centred role where your input can make a genuine difference to a child’s educational journey.
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need formal qualifications — what matters most is your mindset, reliability, and willingness to develop.
We’re particularly interested in people who are:
- Calm, patient, and reliable
- Approachable and confident role models
- Adaptable and open to working across different schools
- Strong communicators who thrive in a team environment
Experience in areas such as education, childcare, sports coaching, youth work, or care is helpful, but not essential.
What You’ll Gain
We’re committed to supporting you just as much as the schools you’ll work in. When you join, you can expect:
- Access to ongoing CPD and training opportunities
- A Guaranteed Work Scheme (for eligible candidates)
- Competitive weekly pay
- Extra pay for longer travel distances or extended hours
- Simple, user-friendly online booking systems
- Ongoing guidance from a dedicated consultant
Important Requirement
Due to the nature of this role, you must have a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle, as travel between schools may sometimes be required at short notice.
