Are you passionate about supporting children’s learning and eager to work in a role that offers variety, flexibility, and genuine impact? This Supply Teaching Assistant opportunity in Havering is an excellent chance to build your experience across early years and primary education while enjoying a balanced work schedule.
Working with a diverse range of friendly and supportive schools, you’ll be a key part of the classroom team—helping to guide pupils, assist teachers, and create positive learning experiences. Whether you are exploring a career in education, returning to school-based work, or seeking flexible hours, this role allows you to thrive in an encouraging environment.
Why This Role Is a Great Opportunity
• Flexible working: Choose the days you want to work, making it ideal for individuals who need work–life balance or are building experience in the education sector.
• Varied school settings: Work across EYFS, KS1, KS2, and potentially support pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN), giving you a well-rounded skill set.
• Supportive environments: Local Havering schools are known for their welcoming communities and strong focus on pupil well-being and staff collaboration.
• No two days the same: From assisting in small groups to supporting individual learners, your day will be engaging, meaningful, and rewarding.
• Professional growth: Gain valuable classroom experience that can strengthen future applications for permanent roles or teacher training routes.
What We’re Looking For
• Experience working with children (school-based experience desirable but not essential)
• A proactive, caring, and patient approach
• Adaptability and confidence working in different classrooms
If you’re excited to support young learners while developing your own skills and experience, we’d love to hear from you.
