Overview

Education Personnel are working with a primary school in the Langley Mill area to recruit a long-term, full-time Teaching Assistant. This Teaching Assistant role offers stability and the chance to work in one setting on a consistent basis, supporting pupils and staff throughout the school year.

The school is built around a central hall with classrooms opening directly onto shared spaces, making it easy for staff to move between lessons, interventions, and group work. There is a designated support area used for reading, phonics, and catch-up sessions, allowing Teaching assistants to work away from the classroom when needed without disruption. Systems are clear and routines are followed closely, which helps pupils respond well to consistent support.

Teaching assistants are part of daily planning conversations and are expected to feedback on progress and engagement.
