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 don't get it" means explain it three more ways, this might be the perfect role for you.

We're looking for adaptable, friendly Teaching Assistants ready to step in, support learning, and maybe even become a playground legend.

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
1. Experience working with children or young people-school, sports, or youth work all count
2. A calm, proactive, and patient attitude (bonus points if you've ever survived indoor wet play)
3. Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or happy to get one)
