Is working within schools & alternate provisions something that interests you? Do you want to launch your career within education? Is flexibility within your work/life balance something you're after?

About the role

We're actively seeking Teaching Assistants to work within different Primary and SEND schools in and around Ilkeston, to work on a full-time, part‑time, or day‑to‑day basis.

If you have experience of working within Education, and you're interested in working as a Teaching Assistant from EYFS to KS4, we'd love to hear from you.

Alternatively, this role is a brilliant opportunity for people that are interested in beginning and pursuing a career within the education sector.

If you're looking for some classroom experience to be able to apply for future teaching and teaching assistant roles, then look no further!

If you have experience in care work, support backgrounds, residential & elderly care, coaching/sports coaching or community work, you'd be perfect for us. If you don't have the formal Teaching Assistant qualifications to work within a classroom, we also consider transferable skills & someone with the passion for leaving a positive impact on the lives of young children.

Please note - this does need to be in a professional capacity as opposed to solely lived experience.
