Following a successful interview and pending suitability, safeguarding and identity checks, we will work to secure you a paid placement in a school to further develop your skills. You will be supported in deciding whether you’d prefer to work in primary, secondary or SEND provisions and will receive ongoing support from a dedicated consultant.

The Role

The role of a Teaching Assistant is vital in the day-to-day running of schools. The best Teaching Assistants have excellent communication skills and can build positive relationships with pupils and staff, quickly and effectively.

Depending on the role and the school, you will be working with the class teacher to manage behaviour, support with interventions, and provide additional support to children with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities).

You will assist the class teacher with recording and reporting on pupil progress and behaviour and help ensure that children are making good progress in the classroom.

Requirements To be considered for the National Teaching Assistant Programme, you will:

  • Be compassionate, understanding and caring.

  • Be able to build positive relationships with children and young people.

  • Be passionate and driven about improving the outcomes for children and young people.

  • Be flexible, proactive and a team player.

  • Understand the crucial importance of keeping children and young people safe.

  • Be able to demonstrate at interview the reasons why you want to start a career in education and explain your understanding of the role of a Teaching Assistant and the important part they play in the school community.

  • Be committed to completing the required training and participating in ongoing CPD.

  • Be willing to pay for an enhanced DBS check and register with the Update Service.

What we offer
As a Teaching Assistant, part of our team, you benefit from:

  • Excellent daily rates paid using the PAYE system. (Daily rate is subject to your scale rate, experience in role and qualifications which will be discussed at the point of registration.)

  • Guaranteed pay scheme (subject to availability).

  • Social and networking events.

  • Pension contributions.

  • CPD to help with your professional development.
