Teaching Assistant – Level 3

Job Description

A warm and welcoming primary school in Coventry is looking for a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join their Year 2 team full‑time. As a result, you’ll be stepping into a lively, supportive classroom where your role will make a real difference to pupils’ confidence and progress. In addition, you’ll be working closely with the class teacher to guide small‑group learning, support daily routines and help children stay engaged throughout the school day.

 

At the same time, you’ll be a steady, reassuring presence for pupils who benefit from calm, consistent adults around them. Ultimately, this is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves helping children thrive and is confident supporting learning in a busy Year 2 environment.

  • Helping children stay focused, confident and on track
  • Assisting with phonics, early literacy and numeracy
  • Encouraging positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing
  • Supporting pupils with mild SEND needs where required
  • Working collaboratively with the class teacher and wider team
  • Contributing to a warm, inclusive and structured classroom environment

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification (or Level 2 as a minimum)
  • Experience supporting primary‑aged pupils
  • A patient, proactive and supportive approach
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Full‑time availability, Monday–Friday
  • Readiness to start as a TA in Coventry
