Education Support Worker

We're working with a number of welcoming primary schools in Harlow who are looking for enthusiastic and motivated Teaching Assistants to join their teams.

You don't necessarily need a background in education. We're interested in people with the right attitude, strong work ethic and a genuine passion for supporting children to succeed.

If you're someone who rolls up their sleeves, gets stuck in, builds relationships quickly and wants to have a positive impact every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting pupils in the classroom and around the school.
• Helping children stay engaged and focused on learning.
• Providing encouragement, guidance and positive role modelling.
• Supporting pupils with a range of needs and abilities.
• Working alongside teachers to create a positive learning environment.
• Building confidence, independence and resilience in young learners.

We'd Love to Hear From You If You Are:

• Motivated and eager to learn.
• A positive role model for young people.
• Resilient, proactive and dependable.
• A strong communicator who builds relationships easily.
• A team player who isn't afraid to get stuck in.
• Passionate about helping children reach their potential.
