Make a Real Difference Every Day
Are you a kind, patient and compassionate Teaching Assistant looking for a rewarding role where you can truly make an impact?
Schools Mutual Services is recruiting a dedicated 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a KS1 pupil at a welcoming primary school in Houghton-le-Spring. This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships and helping children reach their full potential.
You’ll become a trusted and consistent presence in the child’s school day, providing the support they need to thrive both academically and personally.
About the Role
You will work on a 1:1 basis with a KS1 child who is non-verbal and requires personal care support throughout the school day.
This role is not behaviour-focused. Instead, we’re looking for someone who can offer patience, understanding and reassurance while developing a positive and trusting relationship with the child.
Working closely with the class teacher, SENCO and wider school team, you’ll help create a safe, nurturing and engaging learning environment where the child feels supported every day.
We Are Looking For Someone Who:
- Has previous experience supporting children with additional needs.
- Is confident providing personal care or is willing to do so.
- Is calm, caring and naturally patient.
- Can build positive relationships with children, families and school staff.
- Is reliable, committed and enjoys working as part of a team.
- Has excellent communication and a compassionate approach.
Experience within schools, SEND settings, care environments or support work would all be highly beneficial.
What We Offer
- Competitive daily pay of £106.00 – £112.02.
- Full-time hours, Monday to Friday.
- September start.
- Opportunity for the role to continue beyond the initial term.
- Friendly, ongoing support from your dedicated Schools Mutual Services consultant.
- Weekly PAYE pay.
- Access to CPD and professional development opportunities.
- Enhanced health and wellbeing support.
- Pension scheme.
