Are you passionate about helping children achieve their full potential? Do you want to be part of a supportive and inclusive school community? Anston Hillcrest Primary School, part of the James Montgomery Academy Trust, is seeking two dedicated and caring Level 2 Teaching Assistants to join our enthusiastic team.
About the Roles
One Level 2 TA will support across the whole school in delivering high-quality education and care for our pupils. You will support individuals and groups of children with their learning—including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)—and contribute to creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment.
One Level 2 TA will be based within our Integrated Resource Provision – specialising in SEND for children with cognition and interaction needs. You will support individuals and groups of children with their learning—including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)—and contribute to creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment.
You’ll be involved in a wide range of classroom activities, from supporting phonics sessions and educational visits to promoting positive behaviour and well-being. You'll also build strong relationships with pupils, staff, parents, and outside agencies where this is relevant.
What We’re Looking For:
We are looking for someone who:
• Holds at least GCSEs (or equivalent) in English and Maths (Grades A–C or 9–5)
• Has a relevant Level 2 qualification (e.g., NVQ Level 2 in Supporting Teaching and Learning)
• Has experience working with children in a school setting
• Communicates effectively and demonstrates strong literacy and numeracy skills
• Is empathetic, patient, and committed to inclusive education
• Understands the importance of safeguarding and child protection
• Experience working with SEND children and knowledge of phonics and the EYFS framework would be advantageous.
What the school offers its staff
What We Offer:
• A warm, welcoming and supportive team
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• A school culture rooted in mutual respect, inclusion and high expectations
• A chance to make a real difference in children’s lives
Safeguarding:
Anston Hillcrest Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All appointments are subject to appropriate vetting checks, including an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.

If shortlisted, you will be asked to complete a Criminal Records Declaration Form. Any relevant disclosures will be discussed openly and fairly prior to any offer of employment. Failure to disclose relevant information may result in the withdrawal of an offer or dismissal.
Commitment to safeguarding

Our recruitment follows Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance. Employment offers may be subject to checks, including: • DBS • Childcare disqualification • Medical • Online • Prohibition from teaching • Right to work • References • Suitability to work with children Due to amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, some minor offences are now protected and should not be disclosed.
