A primary school in St Austell is looking for a 1-1 Primary teaching assistant to start from 5th January 2026 on a fixed term contract of 6 months.
As a 1:1 teaching assistant you will support pupils with additional needs such as autism, communication difficulties, or moderate learning difficulties. You’ll usually work 1:1 or in small groups, helping pupils access lessons and making sure they don’t get left behind.
