Are you looking for a Teaching Assistant role where you can build relationships with pupils and see the progress they make over time? Tradewind Recruitment is looking to hear from Teaching Assistants interested in working in mainstream primary schools across Bexley, including Bexleyheath, Barnehurst, Welling and Sidcup.

We''d like to hear from you whether you''re looking for a regular role in one school or want to build experience across different year groups through supply. When you apply, we''ll talk through the ages you enjoy working with, how far you can travel and the type of classroom support that suits you.

What the work can involve

  • Working alongside the class teacher to help pupils understand instructions, get started on tasks and build confidence working independently.

  • Supporting individuals or small groups with phonics, reading, writing and maths.

  • Helping pupils settle into classroom routines and making sure they can participate in lessons.

  • Sharing feedback with the teacher about what pupils understood and where they need more practice.

What we''re looking for

Experience working with primary-aged children is important. That might come from a school, a tutoring role or another education setting. We''d particularly like to hear from candidates who can give examples of adapting an explanation, supporting a small group or helping a pupil re-engage with a lesson. A relevant Teaching Assistant qualification is welcome.

Apply now with your CV. Please include the year groups you''ve supported and whether you''re looking for full-time, part-time or flexible supply work. A consultant who covers Bexley primary schools will discuss your preferences and suitable opportunities with you. All assignments are subject to satisfactory safeguarding checks and references.
