Job description

We have a huge demand for quality school support staff across the Liverpool city region, covering:

• EYFS Nursery Assistant - Nursery Nurse roles,
• General Teaching Assistants supporting KS1 & KS2
• SEND Teaching Assistant roles based in mainstream and SEN schools
• Higher level teaching assistants (HLTAs)

These positions usually require someone with classroom experience and a minimum Level 2 qualification or equivalent in education or childcare. Examples include (but are not restricted to) NNEB, NVQ, Cache.

• As a teaching assistant, you will receive ongoing support from a dedicated consultant, as well as:
• Competitive pay - with a sliding scale to reflect your experience and skills (AWR compliant)
• A personal approach to matching your career aspirations to our range of vacancies, taking into consideration the things which are important to you - including pay, location, type, and length of placement
• Consistent communication during your placement from a dedicated consultant
• Access to quality assured training and CPD delivered by experienced professionals
• Feedback to help you improve your CV and interview skills
• An award-winning payroll service, ensuring all supply teachers are paid on time and in full each month using the PAYE system.

Working on supply means you can:

• Expand your experience within a variety of different schools and settings
• Gain opportunities to network and demonstrate your skill set
• Remain flexible – working when and where you want

What to expect:

The working hours for teaching assistant roles vary, but you would expect to usually work between 8.30am and 4.00pm in most settings. Tasks will vary depending on the school and position, but as a basic guide you may be expected to:

• Prepare resources and keep the classroom tidy
• Work on a one-to-one basis to support children with additional needs
• Deliver intervention programmes to small groups or individual pupils
• Support pupil progression of phonics, literacy, numeracy and reading
• Ensure the classroom is well managed, behaviour is controlled, and that children are safe
• Run pre-set activities with small groups of children, carry out basic marking and assessment, and feed back to the teacher
• Be the key worker, especially in the EYFS, for a small group of children, responsible for their progress and updating key staff about their progress in school

In addition, many teaching assistants who work on a one-to-one basis will be expected to work closely with the class teacher, SENDCO and outside agencies to provide the best possible provision for that child.

General teaching assistants may have to work in one specific class, and support small groups of children.

A HLTA may be expected to deliver interventions in literacy and numeracy and cover PPA (planning, preparation and assessment).

Ultimately, we will always match you to a role that you feel fits your skill set.
