Summary
Your new company
Hays has seen a recent increase in demand for EYFS and KS1 teaching assistants to provide regular supply cover on a day-to-day, short and long-term basis. Schools are looking for reliable and highly motivated TA's that they can rely on to provide classroom support. This can be a great role for someone looking to gain experience in various schools to find the one that suits them or for an individual looking to just work on a part-time basis. We work exclusively with many of the schools in Wigan, so you won't find these opportunities anywhere else.
Your new role
In this role, you will be responsible for helping in both group and 1:1 settings for pupils in EYFS/KS1, and this could be helping with English, Maths, Reading and Writing. Depending on the needs of the school, you may be asked to move around classes, so you will need to be flexible and approachable. It is important for you to work closely with the other teachers and TA's to ensure pupils are progressing, and that work is in line with pupil ability. You will become an integral part of the school, joining a team of TAs who are very experienced and that you will be able to learn from.
What you'll need to succeed
In order to be successful in securing this position, you must have experience working with children in the last 2 years. You will need to be able to manage groups of children and be able to manage challenging behaviour. This could be a perfect role for an NQT/ECT that is looking to gain some experience working within the primary school environment.
What you'll get in return
In return, you will be paid a competitive daily rate while gaining invaluable working experience. You will receive continued support from your experienced personal consultant who has forged strong relationships with local schools, along with free career development courses and free CV and interview advice.
