Teaching Assistant

Do you have a passion for working with children?

Are you looking for more flexibility across your working week?

Can you build rapport quickly with pupils and staff?

If yes, I'd love to hear from you! I am recruiting for Teaching Assistants to cover short and long term bookings in our welcoming partner Primary Schools in and around Bury St Edmunds.

Supply work suits around YOUR availability! You are in full control of your working diary, and can update your availability as appropriate using our efficient booking system. This has proven ideal for those with prior childcare arrangements in place and or those who are generally looking for part time/a day here or there.

Long term bookings will see you working at a friendly school for a set duration of time and days per week, depending on their needs. Interviews and trial days would be arranged to ensure that the school is a good fit for you on a long term basis - we make sure that you feel comfortable!

Qualifications are not essential, but experience working with children/young people is required.

£95 - £100 per day (depending on qualifications and experience)

A 'Refer-a-Friend' scheme where you could have a chance of earning £300 in vouchers for every person you recommend Flexibility - you can choose when you'd like to work.
