Job description

Teaching Assistant - Sutton Coldfield

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant based in Sutton Coldfield with experience in teaching phonics and interventions?

I am currently recruiting for a school who is seeking an experienced TA with knowledge of the KS1 curriculum. The post is to start in October and will finish in July 2027 with potential to stay for the next academic year if the school feel you are the correct fit.

For this role you will be closely focusing on teaching Phonics and giving interventions for those who require extra support. Therefore, experience with knowledge of the KS1 curriculum is essential and beneficial to the role. You will also be supporting the class teacher in helping track pupils learning and guiding those who need support.

This school is keen for innovative, passionate teachers to move them forward with the times. It is a lovely, small school-with two classes per year, staff members can know each child individually and uniquely with an extremely supportive team of staff that aim to build pupils positive self-esteem and equip the children with the skills needed for lifelong learning. The successful TA will be nurturing, patient and will genuinely want to make a difference.

We also offer a referral bonus of up to £250 for recommendations of candidates suitable for any of the roles we are recruiting for.

Aspire People is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and expects every candidate to share this commitment. Placements are subject, to appropriate Child Protection screening, including checks with former employers and the Disclosure and Barring Checks.
