Job description

Primary Teaching Assistants Required

Zen Educate are currently looking to take on a number of primary teaching assistants to work in a range of primary schools in Gloucester. This will either be on a full-time or part-time basis for long-term commitments, although there will be opportunities for flexible work if this is what you require. Working hours are 8:30-3:30, Monday to Friday and term time only.

Much of the work will be supporting students with additional learning needs on a 1:1 basis, but there may be opportunities to support small groups as well.

We are looking for people that have experience in working with special needs, ideally such as those with autism, ADHD, or mental health difficulties. This can either be from a previous school-based role or through working with children in an alternative means. As a primary teaching assistant, you will need to be flexible regarding the ages you work with as well as the needs of the school.

A good primary teaching assistant is someone that is both reliable in their work and consistent in their approach to working and supporting children. You will need to have good communication skills both with the students and the other members of staff. Follow the instructions laid out by both the teacher and the education healthcare plan that a student may have. You will need to have a resilient disposition, be able to handle behavioral challenges, and encourage, nurture, and guide students to excel in their learning.

Zen offers competitive rates of pay, a chance to really get a feel for a school before considering a permanent post at a school you are placed in, free training, and a means to share your experiences in a school through our website so other people can benefit.

In order to work with children, an enhanced DBS on the update service is required.
