Year 3 Teaching Assistant

Full‑Time Year 3 Teaching Assistant

Northampton (NN2)

Full‑Time - Term Time Only

Mainstream Primary School

Are you the kind of TA who brings energy into the room, spots when a child needs that extra boost, and genuinely loves seeing confidence grow?

A vibrant and welcoming mainstream primary school in Northampton (NN2) is looking for a brilliant Year 3 Teaching Assistant to join their team. This isn’t just another classroom support role - it’s a chance to become a key part of a year group where curiosity is growing, independence is developing, and no two days are ever the same.

• You’ll be right at the heart of the classroom - supporting learning, building confidence and helping pupils navigate that important transition into Key Stage 2.
• Working closely with the class teacher to keep lessons engaging and inclusive
• Running small group interventions that make a real impact in reading, writing and maths
• Providing 1:1 support where needed - academically and emotionally
• Helping to create a calm, organised and inspiring classroom environment
• Championing positive behaviour and celebrating progress (big and small!)

• You’ve worked in a primary setting and understand the KS2 curriculum
• You’re confident supporting literacy and numeracy
• You’re patient, proactive and naturally nurturing
• You build rapport easily and know how to motivate young learners
• You hold a TA qualification (great, but not essential)

• A genuinely supportive leadership team
• Friendly, collaborative staff
• Enthusiastic pupils who love to learn
• A strong focus on inclusion and professional development

This is a full‑time role starting ASAP, with the potential to continue for the right person.

If you’re ready to step into a classroom where you’ll be valued, supported and able to make a real difference every single day - we’d love to hear from you
