TeacherActive are currently looking for a confident, reliable and experienced KS2 TA / Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming school in Carlton. This is a fantastic opportunity to support teaching and learning across Key Stage 2, while also gaining valuable classroom leadership experience by covering lessons in the teacher’s absence.
We work closely with a range of schools across the area, and pride ourselves on finding the right placements for our staff — whether you’re looking for day-to-day supply, long-term roles, or something permanent.
We are seeking an TA / Teaching Assistant who is confident leading whole-class sessions, passionate about supporting children’s learning, and committed to helping pupils thrive both academically and emotionally.
The ideal KS2 TA will have:
1. TA qualification or relevant Level 2 (or Level 3 with strong cover experience)
2. A minimum of 6 months experience working in UK schools
3. Confidence in covering whole class teaching when required
4. A calm, professional and positive approach to behaviour management
5. A good understanding of child protection and safeguarding procedures
6. Strong communication and organisational skills
7. Experience working with children on both a 1:1 and small group basis
Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you’re paying the right level of TAX and National Insurance and there’s no messing around with admin charges coming out of your hard earned cash.
