Primary Teaching Assistant Pay: £14.24 - £16 per hour Start: ASAP Contract: Flexible (you set the diary) Why this job matters Children learn fastest when the right adult is within arm's reach-someone who can spot confusion, re-explain in plain English, and cheer the small wins. That "right adult" might be you. What you'll actually do: Work 1-to-1 or with small groups during phonics, maths and topic lessons This ensures that every child makes progress-not just the confident ones who always raise their hands. Prep resources, sharpen pencils, organise the glue sticks When the basics are taken care of, teachers can focus fully on teaching. Notice wobbling attention, apply a calm reset A quick, calm intervention now can prevent a longer period of lost learning later. Jot progress notes and pass them to the teacher/SENDCo Accurate evidence helps shape the next lesson-no guesswork needed. Supervise lunch and play Because social skills are built on the playground just as much as in the classroom. What you'll need Some hands-on experience with children (school, nursery, sports club-show us you've been in the arena). Patience and clear communication; five-year-olds ask "why?" a lot. Level 2/3 TA qualification is desirable but not essential. Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply). Reliable safeguarding knowledge-you'll follow it instinctively, not just because it's policy. What you'll get Choice: decide which days you work; term-time only, so holidays stay yours. Variety: different year groups and school cultures-great if you're building experience or avoiding routine. Support: an Account Manager who fixes paperwork and answers questions fast. Growth: free CPD (behaviour, phonics, SEND) so you're always adding strings to the bow. Weekly pay: no umbrella deductions; what you earn is what lands in your account. Sound like a good fit? Email your CV and two lines on what makes you a calm presence when a lesson goes sideways. We'll schedule a short call, run the compliance checks, and get you into classrooms where you can make a difference from day one. Excell Supply is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All applicants will be subject to relevant safeguarding checks and must have the right to work in the UK.
