You’re the calm when things get loud. The one who spots a wobble before it turns into a meltdown.
We’re looking for a KS2 Teaching Assistant to join a caring primary school that does things properly—kindness, ambition, and support for everyone.
If you’ve got a knack for helping children find their feet and believe in themselves, this role could be a brilliant match.
What’s the school like?
It’s a place where being “the best we can be” means something. For pupils and staff.
They use restorative practice, prioritise wellbeing, and build strong routines that actually work. Your voice matters here.
Your day-to-day:
* Supporting engaging, purposeful lessons
* Helping children feel confident—whether in small groups or 1:1
* Encouraging teamwork, independence, and resilience
* Creating a space where every child feels safe, seen, and ready to learn
What makes this school worth joining?
* Genuinely inclusive and nurturing ethos
* Clear behaviour policy rooted in relationships
* Strong leadership, no drama
* Space to grow and feel valued
You’ll need to:
* Have experience with KS2 pupils (or just connect with them naturally)
* Be calm, patient, and good with the little things that matter
* Enjoy working as part of a team
* Be open to learning and trying new approaches
What you get from us:
* Weekly PAYE pay
* Free CPD—including Thrive training (game changer)
* Local work, no endless travelling
* Support from someone who actually picks up the phone
* Rewards for referring friends
