The Role

As a Supply TA, you will be instrumental in ensuring a positive and engaging learning environment, even during staff absences. You will step into different classrooms-often at short notice-to provide a stable and supportive presence for both the teacher and the pupils.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Adaptable Support: Quickly integrating into new classroom environments and assisting the teacher with lesson delivery.

  • Literacy & Numeracy: Providing targeted, one-to-one and small group support to boost pupils' confidence in core subjects.

  • SEN Inclusion: Supporting students with special educational needs (SEN) to ensure they can access all learning activities.

  • Behaviour Management: Helping to manage classroom conduct and promoting a positive, respectful atmosphere.

  • Reading & Pastoral Care: Listening to children read and providing emotional support to ensure pupil well-being.

  • General Supervision: Ensuring student safety during break times, lunchtimes, and school trips.

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: Relevant classroom experience and a genuine passion for children's education.

  • Flexibility: A "can-do" attitude and the ability to travel to various schools within West Sussex.

  • Patience: A proactive and patient professional who can build rapport quickly with young learners.

  • Reliability: High levels of punctuality and a commitment to the schools you support.

Benefits of Supply Work

  • Competitive Pay: A flat daily rate of £90 - £95.

  • Flexibility: Work on the days that suit you-ideal for balancing other commitments.

  • Regional Variety: Experience the diverse range of primary schools West Sussex has to offer.

  • Simplified Workload: Support children's growth without the added pressure of planning or marking.
