• Helping pupils remain focused and involved in learning
• Supporting phonics, reading, writing or numeracy activities
• Assisting children with SEND in line with school guidance

• The ability to follow instructions and adapt to different school systems
• Reliable attendance and punctuality
• The right to work in the UK
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply
• Two appropriate professional references
• A Level 2 or Level 3 teaching-assistant qualification is desirable but not always essential where applicants have strong and relevant experience.

Why Choose Flexible Supply?

• Select work around your weekly availability
• Develop experience across EYFS, KS1, KS2 and SEND
