Unqualified Learning Support Assistant

Do you have a nurturing and compassionate nature?
Are you someone who can connect with and mentor young people who need a guiding hand?

Teaching Personnel is looking for caring, confident individuals with experience supporting children or young people who struggle with emotional regulation and have often experienced trauma. If you have a background in youth work, care, or behavioural support, this could be the perfect role for you.

As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll do more than support academics—you’ll become a trusted adult who helps pupils build emotional resilience, improve behaviour, and develop essential life skills.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Small class sizes (8–10 pupils) allowing for meaningful one-on-one engagement

• Holistic approach – students learn core subjects like English and Maths, along with practical life skills including cooking and mechanics (with an on-site garage!)

• No prior teaching qualifications needed—just relevant experience and the right mindset

• Flexible schedule to support a healthy work/life balance

• Strong potential for a permanent contract for the right candidate

What We’re Looking For:

• A genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to learning

• Confidence and calmness when working with children who may present challenging behaviours

• Adaptability, resilience, and a positive attitude in dynamic classroom settings

• A natural ability to build trust and strong relationships

About the role:

• 08:30- 4:30
• Term time only
• £13.75 per day 

This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a real, lasting impact on a child’s life.

If you're ready to be a role model and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today—we look forward to supporting your journey.
