Teaching Assistant, Durham Secondary Schools
Long-term placements, competitive daily rates, start immediately

Several Durham secondary schools have long-term Teaching Assistant vacancies open now. The placements are with established support teams, so you would be joining people who know the students well and can show you the ropes quickly.

Day to day, you will mostly be sitting alongside students who need a bit more help to keep up, whether that is in the classroom or in small groups pulled out for extra practice. Some of the students you support will have SEND, so a sense of what works for different learners is helpful.

You will need:

• Previous experience as a TA or in a similar school role
• Patience and a steady approach with teenagers
• A Level 3 qualification if you have one, though experience counts for a lot
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply

What you get:

• Competitive daily pay, weekly via PAYE
• Free CPD and SEND training
• A consultant who knows the schools and picks up the phone
• A route into permanent roles where schools have them

Contract: long-term. Start: ASAP. Location: Durham secondary schools.
