Reeson Education are currently seeking a Teaching Assistant to join one of our welcoming partner primary schools in the SK2 area. The school has a warm, family feel and prides itself on being a nurturing environment where every child - and every member of staff - is valued and supported. Staff are passionate about getting to know each pupil individually, both inside and outside the classroom, which makes this a wonderful place to work as a Teaching Assistant.

• This Teaching Assistant position is based in a KS2 class, supporting a pupil on a 1:1 basis who presents with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs.

• The role is full-time and confirmed until the end of the academic year, with a strong possibility of continuing beyond that, ideally allowing the Teaching Assistant to remain with the same pupil next year.

• As the Teaching Assistant, you'll work closely with the class teacher and pastoral team to implement effective support strategies and ensure individual learning plans are followed.

• The child can occasionally become emotionally dysregulated, so the school is looking for a Teaching Assistant who is calm, patient, and confident managing challenging behaviour in a nurturing, consistent way.

• The successful Teaching Assistant will be supported by a highly experienced SEND and pastoral team, ensuring you feel valued and well-equipped throughout the day.

An immediate start is available for this Teaching Assistant position. Applicants must be available to work full-time, Monday to Friday, for the full school day. Please only apply if you can commit to these hours for the duration of the role.

• Ideally qualified to Level 1, 2 or 3 in Teaching Assistant studies (or equivalent - not essential)

• Two professional references, including one ideally from an educational or childcare setting

• Ability to work collaboratively as part of a close-knit team

• Previous experience supporting children with varying levels of need as a Teaching Assistant

• A patient, adaptable, and proactive approach, with a genuine passion for helping children succeed academically and emotionally

• Competitive hourly pay

• Weekly pay via PAYE or Umbrella company

• Dedicated specialist consultant and ongoing professional support

• Opportunity to work in a welcoming, well-led school with an outstanding team

If you're a Teaching Assistant seeking a rewarding, long-term opportunity where you can make a real impact and feel part of a supportive school community, we'd love to hear from you. Please apply today or send your CV to Reeson Education to discuss this Teaching Assistant role further.
