KS2 Teaching Assistant

About the Role

The Education Network is currently looking to recruit a teaching assistant for one of our partner schools in Peterlee. The position is full‑time starting in March and is based across KS2. The successful candidate must be comfortable working with children of different ages and would ideally have some experience working with children with SEND, but this is not necessary. You will always promote good behaviour and positive values to impact teaching and learning.

Candidates must hold a recognised Teaching Assistant or Nursery Nurse qualification Level 2 or 3 and have recent school experience.

Our office works specifically with schools across the region and, as well as this position, we have a number of day‑to‑day and long‑term supply assignments. Candidates who apply and are successful in this instance could be offered additional opportunities in other schools.
