Recruiting on behalf of a local primary school – Zest Education

Zest Education are currently recruiting for a part-time Level 3 Teaching Assistant to work at a busy and supportive primary school in Druids Heath. The school serves a community with significant levels of deprivation and supports a high number of pupils with SEND, behavioural challenges and complex needs.

This is a rewarding role working 1–1 with a Year 3 pupil who requires consistent behavioural support, close supervision and structured guidance throughout the morning session.

  • Supporting learning tasks and helping the pupil remain focused
  • Supervising movement around school and managing potential triggers
  • Working closely with the class teacher, SENDCo and wider pastoral team
  • Providing a consistent, nurturing and structured adult presence

This position requires patience, resilience and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

Applicants must have:

  • Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification (or equivalent/NVQ)
  • Experience supporting children with behavioural needs, SEMH or SEND
  • Strong communication skills and a positive, proactive attitude
  • The ability to use consistent behaviour strategies and de-escalation techniques
  • Confidence working both independently and as part of a team
  • Availability every morning during term time

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting vulnerable pupils and making a meaningful difference each day.
