Exciting Opportunity for Teaching Assistants in Bristol

Position: Teaching Assistant (SEN Support)
Salary: Competitive, based on experience
Start Date: September
Contract Type: Full-time, long-term role

    • Are you passionate about supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?
    • Do you want to work in an outstanding Primary school with a welcoming and supportive team?
    • Are you eager to make a real difference in a nurturing learning environment?

    TeacherActive, a trusted leader in education recruitment, is proud to be partnering with a welcoming and forward-thinking primary school in Bristol to recruit a full-time Teaching Assistant. This rewarding role involves supporting pupils with a range of special educational needs (SEN), starting in September and continuing throughout the academic year — with the potential to become a permanent position for the right person.

    This inclusive and high-achieving primary school has been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted and is widely recognised for its commitment to nurturing every child’s individual potential. The school provides a warm, collaborative working environment where all staff are encouraged to grow professionally and are truly valued as part of the team.

    Staff benefit from access to excellent facilities, including a gymnasium and music rooms, and the school places a strong emphasis on wellbeing and professional development. There is a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme available, alongside support from trained Mental Health First Aiders. The school also offers flexible working options, family-friendly policies, gym membership discounts, and an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference while developing your career in a supportive, inclusive setting.

    Your Role:

    As a Teaching Assistant, you will:

      • Provide 1:1 and group support for students with SEN
      • Assist teachers in delivering engaging and accessible lessons
      • Create a positive and inclusive learning environment
      • Help students develop confidence, independence, and social skills
      • Work closely with teachers, SENCOs, and support staff to meet student needs

      What We’re Looking For:

        • Enthusiastic and compassionate individuals with a passion for SEN support
        • Experience working with children (preferred but not essential)
        • A team player with great communication skills
        • Patience, resilience, and a commitment to student development

        In Return, You Will Receive:

          • A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to assist you
          • Access to CPD courses and certifications via My-Progression
          • A Guaranteed Payment Scheme (T&Cs apply)
          • Market-leading rates of pay
          • TeacherActive Referral Scheme – Earn up to £100 for referring a friend (T&Cs apply)
          • PAYE payment – No hidden admin fees or unnecessary deductions
