Job description

Got a creative streak and a passion for helping young people thrive?

Some children learn best through movement. Others through music, art, storytelling, or simply having someone who believes in them.

We're looking for a Creative Teaching Assistant to join a supportive school in Bristol, helping pupils engage with learning through creativity, encouragement, and positive relationships.

This role is perfect for someone from a creative background, whether that's art, drama, music, dance, photography, performing arts, or youth work. If you love thinking differently and want to make a genuine impact, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

• Supporting pupils in the classroom through creative and engaging activities
• Building positive relationships that help children feel confident and included
• Working alongside teachers and support staff to deliver tailored learning experiences
• Encouraging social, emotional, and academic development
• Bringing fresh ideas and energy into the classroom every day

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience working with children or young people
• Come from a creative, coaching, mentoring, or support background
• Are patient, adaptable, and positive
• Have a genuine passion for education and helping pupils succeed
• Are keen to develop your skills within a school environment
