Level 3 Teaching Assistant

Zest Education is looking for an enthusiastic and committed Level 3 Teaching Assistant to work within a school in Coventry. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly and supportive school environment where you can make a real difference to pupils throughout the school day. The ideal candidate will have previous classroom-based experience and feel confident supporting children with different learning needs. In addition, experience or exposure to SEND would be highly beneficial. You should be patient, approachable and able to build positive relationships with pupils and staff. Ideally, you will also drive and have access to your own vehicle. However, this is not essential, and we still welcome applications from candidates who can reliably travel to schools across Coventry.

The Role

• Support pupils with their learning in the classroom
• Work alongside the class teacher to deliver engaging activities
• Provide individual and small-group support when required
• Support pupils with SEND and additional learning needs
• Help pupils stay focused and engaged throughout lessons
• Adapt your support to meet individual pupil needs
• Encourage positive behaviour and build pupil confidence
• Help create an inclusive and welcoming classroom
• Work closely with teachers and other support staff

What We’re Looking For

• Hold a Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification or relevant equivalent
• Have previous classroom-based experience
• Have experience or exposure to supporting pupils with SEND
• Be confident working with children with different abilities and needs
• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Be patient, positive and enthusiastic
• Be available for full-time work
• Ideally drive and have access to a vehicle, although this is not essential
