Teaching Assistant

TeacherActive, one of the UK’s largest and leading education recruitment agencies, is delighted to be supporting several Primary Schools across East London — including a welcoming, ambitious school in Stratford — who are looking for dedicated Teaching Assistants to join their growing team.

We pride ourselves on working closely with our partner schools to provide reliable, nurturing and high-quality support staff. Alongside this, we offer ongoing training and Career Progression Development opportunities, helping you build real experience and move forward in your education career.

This fantastic Stratford school is looking for Teaching Assistants who are enthusiastic, patient and committed to making a positive difference. You will play a key role in supporting pupils across the classroom, reinforcing learning, encouraging participation and helping pupils to stay focused and engaged. You’ll work closely with the class teacher and wider support staff to ensure every child receives consistent guidance, structure and encouragement throughout the day.

You may be supporting small groups, working with whole-class activities, or offering additional support to pupils who need a bit more help with their learning — every day will be different, and no two children are the same.

Whether you’re looking for day-to-day supply work, a long-term placement, or a permanent role, our consultants work closely with a range of mainstream schools and are here to support you every step of the way.

The successful Teaching Assistant will have:

• Experience supporting pupils within a primary school setting (or similar)
• Confidence working with a range of abilities and learning needs
• A calm, positive and consistent approach to routines and expectations
• Ability to encourage pupils, build trust and maintain strong relationships
• A proactive mindset — willing to get involved, help out and use initiative
• Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team

In return, you can expect:

• A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to support you through our simple online onboarding process
• Guaranteed Payment Scheme (T&Cs apply)
• Access to CPD training and certificates through our My-Progression channel
• Market-leading rates of pay
• TeacherActive Referral Scheme – earn up to £100 when you refer a friend (T&Cs apply)
• Ongoing support, check-ins and career advice

Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, meaning you can be confident that your TAX and National Insurance are handled correctly — with no hidden admin charges taken from your hard-earned pay.
