Teaching Assistant – Leicester

Teaching Personnel are currently recruiting for Supply Teaching Assistants to cover the Leicester  area for day to day as well as long and short term roles – some being permanent.

Becoming a Supply Teaching Assistant gives you the flexibility to work around your own personal schedule. Whether you are looking for specific days, day to day, long or short term roles we would love to hear from you. Roles like these are perfect for TA’s with part time availability or who are looking to work in different environments before settling in to a longer term position.

Teaching Assistants provide effective support to children who would otherwise fall behind with their education. The rewards of this role are immeasurable and no price can be put on the joy this role brings. You will be based within classrooms assisting children in lessons or possibly 1:1 in designated areas supporting with reading, writing and explaining how to apply what they have learnt in lesson. Teaching Assistants assist in the completion of all tasks which are set by the Teacher and explain and support the work in a way that the child can understand. Some students may have difficulties reading or writing, sitting still for long periods of time, understanding how to complete the work set and may need social and emotional support to feel comfortable in a classroom setting.
