Looking for a rewarding role to kick-start your year?

As pupils return after the Christmas break, schools are preparing for a busy and important term ahead, and we're looking for enthusiastic Teaching Assistants to join a welcoming primary school in BS31 from January 2027.

This is a fantastic opportunity to support children during their Key Stage 2 journey, helping them build confidence, strengthen core skills and achieve their potential. Whether you're supporting pupils one-to-one, leading small intervention groups or working alongside the class teacher, you'll play a key role in helping children thrive both academically and socially.

Experience supporting children with additional needs is beneficial, but what matters most is your enthusiasm, patience and desire to make a difference. If you've worked in sports coaching, youth work, tutoring, childcare or are studying psychology or education, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting KS2 pupils to access learning and reach their individual goals
• Working alongside teachers to deliver targeted support in reading, writing and maths
• Helping children build confidence, independence and positive learning habits
• Supporting pupils with additional needs within the classroom environment
• Encouraging engagement, participation and positive behaviour
• Creating a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment every day

What We're Looking For

• A caring, enthusiastic and proactive individual
• Confidence working with children aged 7-11
• Previous experience supporting children, either professionally or voluntarily
• Experience with SEN is desirable but not essential
• Backgrounds in sports coaching, youth work, tutoring, childcare or psychology are highly transferable
• A DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one

Why Work Through Protocol Education?

• Competitive weekly pay
• Flexible work opportunities to fit around your lifestyle
• Ongoing CPD and specialist training, including SEN and behaviour support
• Dedicated and supportive consultants who are passionate about helping you succeed
• Opportunities to gain valuable classroom experience and develop your career in education
• The chance to make a genuine difference in children's lives from the start of the new year

What We Need to Clear You

To complete your registration, we'll need:

• Passport/proof of right to work in the UK
• Two proofs of address (such as a driving licence, utility bill or council tax statement)
• A CV covering the last 10 years of work or education, with any gaps explained
• References covering the last two years, including childcare, education or youth work where applicable
• An overseas police check if you have lived abroad for three months or more in the past five years

Start the new year with a role where every day makes a difference. If you're passionate about supporting children and helping them succeed, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today for a January 2027 start.
