Job Description
I’m currently looking for enthusiastic, dedicated, and genuinely caring Teaching Assistants to support a number of wonderful primary schools across the Wakefield area. If you’re passionate about helping children grow, learn, and feel confident in themselves, and you’re keen to develop your career in education, this could be a brilliant opportunity for you.
About the Role
As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll play a key role in the classroom. Working closely with teachers, you’ll support children’s learning and wellbeing, offer encouragement where it’s needed, and help create a positive, inclusive environment where every pupil feels supported.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Supporting teachers with the delivery of engaging, high-quality lessons
* Providing one-to-one or small-group support for pupils who need additional help
* Helping maintain a calm, well-managed classroom environment
* Supporting pupils with special educational needs to ensure equal access to learning
* Preparing teaching materials and classroom resources
* Supervising pupils during breaks, lunchtimes, and school activities
* Working collaboratively with staff to deliver tailored learning programmes
* Ensuring the classroom remains organised, safe, and welcoming
What I’m Looking For
I’d be particularly interested in speaking with you if you:
* Have experience working with primary-aged children (school experience is ideal but not essential)
* Communicate well with both children and adults
* Bring patience, empathy, and a genuine desire to support young learners
* Work well under guidance and thrive in a team environment
* Can adapt to the changing needs of the classroom
What You’ll Receive
Working with me through Reed Education means you’ll benefit from:
* Competitive rates of pay
* Strong opportunities for training and professional development
* A supportive, friendly team that values your hard work
* Flexible working options that promote a healthy work–life balance
* Wellbeing support, including access to an Employee Assistance Programme
* The chance to have a real, meaningful impact on schools within the Wakefield community
Why Reed Education?
We take pride in matching caring, committed individuals with schools that genuinely appreciate what they bring. Our approach is personal, supportive, and focused on long-term success. I’ll be here to guide you from your first enquiry through to securing the right role for you.
If you’re ready to inspire and support young learners across Wakefield, I’d really love to hear from you. Apply today and let’s begin the next step in your education career.
