Do you have a nurturing and compassionate nature? Are you someone who can connect with and mentor young people who need a guiding hand? Teaching Personnel is looking for caring, confident individuals with experience supporting children or young people who struggle with emotional regulation and have often experienced trauma. If you have a background in youth work, care, or behavioural support, this could be the perfect role for you. As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll do more than support academics—you’ll become a trusted adult who helps pupils build emotional resilience, improve behaviour, and develop essential life skills. Why This Role Stands Out: Small class sizes (8–10 pupils) allowing for meaningful one-on-one engagement Holistic approach – students learn core subjects like English and Maths, along with practical life skills including cooking and mechanics (with an on-site garage) No prior teaching qualifications needed—just relevant experience and the right mindset Flexible schedule to support a healthy work/life balance Strong potential for a permanent contract for the right candidate What We’re Looking For: A genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to learning Confidence and calmness when working with children who may present challenging behaviours Adaptability, resilience, and a positive attitude in dynamic classroom settings A natural ability to build trust and strong relationships About the role: 08:30- 4:30 Term time only £13.75 per day This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a real, lasting impact on a child’s life.
