Are you an experienced Key Stage 2 Teaching Assistant looking for a rewarding, full-year role starting immediately?

We are seeking a proactive, adaptable, and dedicated Year 5 Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant 3-form entry primary school in the heart of Newham. You will work closely with Year 5 class teachers to support pupils' academic growth, boost engagement, and maintain a positive classroom environment as students prepare for their final year of primary school.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver targeted 1:1 and small-group interventions in literacy and numeracy to accelerate progress.

  • Support the class teacher in managing classroom dynamics and behaviour across a large 3-form entry year group.

  • Provide tailored support to pupils with diverse learning needs, including those with SEN and EAL.

  • Assist with classroom preparation, resource creation, and tracking pupil engagement.

Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

  • DBS: Must hold a valid Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service (due to the immediate start).

  • Experience: Proven prior experience working within Key Stage 2 (KS2) in a UK primary school.

  • Availability: Available for an immediate start and committed for the full academic year.

Desirable Criteria

  • Strong subject knowledge in the Year 5 curriculum (specifically KS2 Maths and English).

  • Previous experience supporting SEN or EAL pupils.

  • Excellent communication, teamwork, and organisational skills.

What We Offer

  • Weekly Pay via PAYE: Direct weekly payments straight into your account with standard tax and National Insurance deductions-no hidden umbrella company admin charges or unexpected fees.

  • Long-Term Stability: A secure, full-time placement for the entire academic year.

  • Referral Bonus: Know another brilliant educator? Earn a bonus through our Refer-a-Friend scheme for every successful referral!
