We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• A recognised Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification
• Previous experience working in a Key Stage 2 classroom
• Practical experience delivering Read Write Inc.
• Confidence leading interventions with small groups of pupils
• A good understanding of the primary curriculum
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A positive, patient and proactive approach
• The ability to build effective relationships with pupils and colleagues
• An enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service, or a willingness to obtain one
• The legal right to work in the UK-we are unable to offer visa sponsorship

Why work with Premier Education?

• Competitive daily pay of £92.56 - £110
• A full‑time, classroom‑based KS2 role
• The opportunity to lead meaningful group interventions
• Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement
• A convenient Tameside location accessible from several surrounding areas
• Support from a trusted education recruitment agency established in 2001

If you are a qualified Level 3 Teaching Assistant with Read Write Inc. experience and are available from September 2026, we would love to hear from you.

The successful candidate will be responsible for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance. An enhanced DBS check will be required as part of our commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment for all.
