Job description

Teaching Assistant- Havering

TimePlan Education is currently looking for flexible and enthusiastic candidates for full-time teaching assistant roles in several excellent schools in Havering (and surrounding areas). These rewarding and varied full-time teaching assistant roles will start in November 2026.

Previous experience working with children is not essential for the teaching assistant roles in Havering, although other relevant experience (for example in dance, drama, sports, youth work or arts) would be advantageous, as would experience supporting children or adults with SEN.

You should ideally hold either a relevant teaching assistant qualification (such as a CACHE Level 2 or 3) or a university degree (although this does not necessarily need to relate to childcare or education). Roles for university graduates and Level 3 qualified teaching assistants are available in both primary and secondary settings in Havering. However experience working with children in other environments (such as in youth groups, volunteering or in a personal capacity) will also be considered.

Excellent numeracy and literacy skills are essential for teaching assistant roles in Havering.

TimePlan Education offers a number of benefits, including regular training, competitive pay and support throughout your placement.
