• Support positive behaviour and maintain a calm, inclusive classroom environment

• Adapt confidently to different schools, year groups and classroom routines

• Assist with classroom preparation, activities and resources

• Help ensure pupils receive consistent support throughout the school day

We''re keen to speak with Teaching Assistants who:

• Have experience working with children, ideally within a KS2 or primary school setting

• Hold a relevant Teaching Assistant qualification or have suitable classroom experience

• Have strong communication and behaviour management skills

• Are enthusiastic, reliable and adaptable

• Can quickly build positive relationships with pupils, teachers and school staff
