About the Role
Are you a passionate and flexible teaching assistant looking to make a real difference across primary education? Join Teach Now and take on an exciting supply TA role in the vibrant borough of Hackney, working across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 classrooms in some of the borough’s most sought-after schools.
This is the perfect opportunity for experienced TAs or those with strong SEN knowledge to gain further experience in different settings. You’ll support students with a range of needs including ASD, ADHD, SEMH, challenging behaviours, or pupils needing general academic support. Whether you're an experienced teaching assistant or looking to build your school-based experience, this flexible role allows you to grow your skillset while making a positive impact.
Why This Role?
• Flexibility – choose when and where you work to suit your lifestyle
• Diverse experience – work in a variety of settings across EYFS, KS1 and KS2
• Career progression – gain valuable experience and access potential long-term opportunities
• Excellent schools – we work with some of the top-rated and most supportive schools in Hackney
• Professional support – you’ll be fully supported by our expert education consultants every step of the way
What We’re Looking For
• Experience supporting children with SEN is highly desirable
• Ability to adapt to different school environments and year groups
• A calm, positive, and resilient attitude
• A relevant qualification (e.g. Level 2/3 TA or equivalent) is beneficial but not essential
Whether you’re looking to re-enter the classroom, gain experience before a long-term role, or simply enjoy the flexibility of supply work—this is a fantastic opportunity to do rewarding work in a supportive environment.
