Job Description:

Are you nurturing and compassionate? Can you connect with and mentor young people needing guidance?

Teaching Personnel seeks caring, confident individuals with experience supporting children or young people who struggle with emotional regulation and have experienced trauma. Backgrounds in youth work, care, or behavioral support are ideal.

As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll support academics and help pupils develop emotional resilience, improve behavior, and acquire life skills.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Small class sizes (8–10 pupils) for meaningful one-on-one engagement
• Holistic approach—learning core subjects and practical life skills like cooking and mechanics
• No prior teaching qualifications needed—relevant experience and mindset suffice
• Flexible schedule for work/life balance
• Potential for permanent contract for suitable candidates

What We’re Looking For:

• Genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers
• Confidence and calmness with challenging behaviors
• Adaptability, resilience, and positivity
• Ability to build trust and relationships

Role Details:

• Working hours: 08:30–16:30
• Term-time only

This role offers the chance to make a lasting impact on a child's life. If you're ready to be a role model and make a difference, we want to hear from you.

Please ensure you have the appropriate qualifications and training. Refer to the Teaching Personnel FAQs for details. All pay rates include statutory holiday pay. This is a temporary position, with potential for permanency later. Teaching Personnel adheres to safeguarding policies, including DBS checks. We provide free child protection and prevent duty training. Full assistance with DBS checks is available.
