Job description

Why not consider a Teaching Assistant role in a primary school setting – offering more stable hours, term-time work, and the chance to continue making a real impact in children’s lives.

We’re working with a number of welcoming primary schools across Exeter and nearby towns who are looking for enthusiastic and nurturing Teaching Assistants to support their Early Years and Key Stage 1 classrooms.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting the class teacher with day-to-day activities
• Helping children with learning, play, and personal development
• Creating a safe and engaging environment for pupils
• Assisting with classroom setup and resource preparation
• Providing one-to-one or small group support where needed

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with young children (Nursery, EYFS, or KS1)
• A caring and patient approach
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Level 2 or 3 childcare qualification (desirable but not essential)
• DBS on the update service or willingness to apply for one

Why Make the Switch?

• Better hours – term-time only, no evenings or weekends
• Consistent pay – £90–£105 per day
• Career development – gain school-based experience and training
• Work-life balance – perfect for those seeking stability
