The Role

Whether you're decoding phonics in Year 1 or backing up a biology demo in Year 11, no two days as a TA are the same. If you're calm under pressure, quick on your feet, and know that I dont get it means explain it three more ways, this might be the perfect role for you.

What You'll Do

• Work one-to-one or in small groups to keep pupils engaged and confident
• Help teachers with classroom prep, scissors, whiteboard pens, moral support
• Spot distractions before they turn into interpretive dance mid-lesson
• Keep a cool head, even when someone puts a pencil in the sharpener the wrong way
• Be a steady, supportive presence pupils can rely on

What You'll Need

• Experience working with children or young people (school, sports, or youth work all count)
• A calm, proactive, and patient attitude (bonus points if you've ever survived indoor wet play)
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or happy to get one)
• A sense of humour and a genuine desire to help pupils succeed

What You'll Get

• Flexible working set your own schedule and still make time for real life
• Weekly pay with no umbrella deductions
• Free CPD in safeguarding, SEN support, behaviour management, and more
• A down-to-earth consultant who matches you to the right schools no jargon, just honest support
• The chance to build your classroom confidence in a variety of friendly settings
