Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant looking for flexible work across Leeds this September?
We are recruiting KS2 Teaching Assistants to join our growing supply team, supporting a large network of primary schools across Leeds and the surrounding areas.
Rather than being tied to one school, you'll have the opportunity to work across a variety of welcoming primary settings, supporting pupils and teachers throughout Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Whether you're looking for regular work throughout the week, a couple of days to fit around other commitments, or the flexibility of day-to-day supply, we'd love to hear from you.

Help pupils remain engaged, focused and confident in their learning
Support positive behaviour and maintain a calm, inclusive classroom environment
Adapt confidently to different schools, year groups and classroom routines
Assist with classroom preparation, activities and resources
Help ensure pupils receive consistent support throughout the school day
What We're Looking For
We're keen to speak with Teaching Assistants who:
Have experience working with children, ideally within a KS2 or primary school setting
Hold a relevant Teaching Assistant qualification or have suitable classroom experience
Have strong communication and behaviour management skills
Are enthusiastic, reliable and adaptable
Can quickly build positive relationships with pupils, teachers and school staff
Are confident supporting pupils with varying abilities and learning needs
Are passionate about helping children achieve their full potential
Experienced Teaching Assistants, graduates looking to gain further classroom experience and candidates with relevant education or childcare backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
