Job Description
KS2 Teaching Assistant - Primary| outskirts of Truro
£92.63 - £97 per day | 6.5-hour day with some wraparound care included so up to 7.5 Hours Per day | w/c 20th April long term oppertunity
Are you a warm, reliable, and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant who loves supporting children to succeed?Looking for a full-time role where you can build meaningful relationships and feel part of a supportive school team?
Teaching Personnel are working closely with a welcoming primary school on the outskirts of Truro (St Austell Direction) who are seeking a KS2 Teaching Assistant to join them full-time after the Easter holidays. This is a fantastic long-term opportunity for someone who thrives in a classroom environment and enjoys being a consistent, trusted presence for pupils.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a short-term stopgap. The school is looking for someone who wants to:
* Be part of the school community and a very close knit, friendly team
* Support pupils both academically and emotionally
* Build strong, positive relationships
* Play a key role in the classroom team
You’ll be working mainly within a KS2 class, offering general classroom support alongside some 1:1 support, as is typical within primary school settings.
About the Role
In this role, you will:
* Support the class teacher with day-to-day classroom learning
* Deliver 1:1 and small-group support where needed
* Help pupils stay engaged, confident, and focused
* Support behaviour, emotional regulation, and independence
* Promote a calm, positive and inclusive learning environment
* Adapt support to meet individual learning needs
Every day will be varied, but your contribution will be essential.
Who We’re Looking For
This role would suit someone who is:
* Experienced working in primary schools (KS2 preferred)
* Caring, patient, and confident supporting children
* Comfortable providing 1:1 support when required
* Proactive, reliable, and a strong team player
* Passionate about helping children reach their potential
A Level 2 or Level 3 TA qualification is desirable, but relevant school-based experience is equally valued.
Why Work With Teaching Personnel?
* Weekly pay with transparent rates
* A dedicated local consultant (me!) who listens to you
* Consistent work opportunities in local schools
* Access to free CPD training (safeguarding, behaviour, SEN + more)
* Simple admin through the myTP app
* Opportunities to move into long-term roles if you want
We care about placing you somewhere you’ll enjoy — not just filling gaps.
