Your role will be essential in helping to create a positive, engaging, and supportive learning environment for all children.

  • Helping to create a nurturing and safe classroom environment

  • Assisting with classroom preparation, displays, and general admin tasks

  • Promoting positive behaviour and encouraging independence

  • Collaborating with teachers, SENCOs, and other support staff to meet pupil needs

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience working in a primary school setting (voluntary or paid)

  • SEN experience or understanding of various additional needs (e.g. ASD, ADHD, speech and language difficulties)

  • A positive, patient, and adaptable approach

  • Strong communication and teamwork skills

  • A DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply for one)

What Randstad Offers You:

  • Competitive daily pay rates

  • Support from a dedicated education consultant

  • Opportunities for further training and development

  • Access to temporary and permanent opportunities

  • A chance to make a lasting difference in children's lives
