Hours: 33.75 – 5 days a week, term-time only, generally from 8.00am – 3.15pm

Start Date: As soon as possible / September 2026

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and passionate Teaching Assistant to work with students who are facing a variety of challenges which affect their progress in the classroom. The post holder would be required to be resourceful, understanding and be prepared to work both in the classroom and a withdrawal situation with a particular focus on literacy and numeracy support if required.

In addition, the post holder will be expected to act as a mentor for a group of students or other directed intervention for up to 45 mins each morning as required and at times to supervise students at break and lunch times, offering structured activities to students. The successful candidate will join an established team of both teachers, HLTA’s and Learning Coaches (TAs) and must be prepared to work in a flexible, creative and collegiate way.

Candidates without A-Levels, a degree or a relevant Level 3 for the role will be required to enroll on the Level 3 Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship once appointed. We will support you to gain this qualification as part of our commitment to staff development and improving student outcomes.

We offer a highly competitive benefits package, including excellent pay, a generous pension scheme, enhanced parental leave, reduced gym membership for our on-site facilities, discounted nursery fees, a laptop, and access to a car leasing scheme. After six months, staff also benefit from Westfield Benefits, providing discounts on shopping, travel, and holidays, as well as a free Health Cash Plan covering dental, optical, and other treatments.

Above all, we are committed to ensuring our staff feel valued, supported, and empowered. We offer more pay, more time, and more support —including three additional INSET days for planning, a guaranteed personal day each year, exceptional training and career development, and a culture that genuinely invests in its people.
