Primary teaching assistant

Job Description

Nantwich & Surrounding Areas

£14.50 – £15.00 per hour

Are you a passionate and adaptable Teaching Assistant looking for flexible work in local primary schools—with the opportunity to grow into something more permanent?

We are currently recruiting Supply Teaching Assistants to support a range of welcoming and supportive primary schools across Nantwich. This role is ideal for individuals seeking short-term, flexible work, while also offering clear pathways into longer-term and even permanent positions.

The Role:

• Supporting class teachers across EYFS, KS1, and KS2
• Working 1:1 or with small groups of pupils
• Assisting with classroom activities and behaviour management
• Creating a positive, engaging, and inclusive learning environment

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience working with children (school-based experience desirable)
• A flexible and proactive approach to work
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A genuine passion for supporting children’s learning and development
• Availability for day-to-day, short-term assignments

Long-Term Opportunities:

This role offers much more than day-to-day supply work. Many of our placements:

• Evolve into long-term positions within the same school
• Provide the chance to build strong relationships with staff and pupils, making you a valued member of the team
• Lead to consistent, full-time roles for those looking for stability
• Offer a pathway into permanent contracts for the right candidates
• Give you exposure to different school settings, helping you find the right fit for your career

We actively support candidates who demonstrate reliability and impact in the classroom to secure extended placements and career progression opportunities.

What We Offer:

Competitive hourly rate of £14.50 – £15.00

Flexible working to suit your schedule

Genuine opportunities to progress into long-term and permanent roles

Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant

Access to a variety of local schools to build your experience

Whether you're an experienced Teaching Assistant or looking to gain more classroom experience and secure something longer-term, we’d love to hear from you.
