Teaching Assistant

Job Description

This welcoming primary school in Leamington Spa now seeks a committed Teaching Assistant for a full‑time role.

  • General classroom support that strengthens engagement and learning
  • Small‑group activities that build confidence and reinforce key skills
  • 1:1 guidance for pupils needing additional help
  • Adapted learning tasks to meet varied needs
  • Positive behaviour approaches using calm, consistent communication
  • Close teamwork with teachers and support staff

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong classroom experience within primary settings
  • Ideally qualified: L1/L2/L3 TA
  • Warm, calm and organised approach
  • Confidence supporting varied needs through structured routines
  • Full‑time availability
  • Ideally a driver for easy access to Leamington Spa
  • Interest in Leamington‑based roles
