Primary Classroom Assistant - Fishponds

Vision for Education are looking for enthusiastic and reliable Primary Classroom Assistants to support a welcoming mainstream primary school in Fishponds.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with children and wants to play a positive role in their learning and development. You'll be working alongside an experienced teaching team, helping pupils stay engaged, build confidence and get the most out of their time in the classroom.

The role will involve supporting children across the primary age range, helping with everyday classroom activities and providing additional support to pupils who may need a little extra guidance.

Whether you're an experienced Teaching Assistant, Classroom Assistant or Learning Support Assistant, or have transferable experience from childcare, youth work, care or coaching, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

Your day-to-day responsibilities could include:

• Supporting the class teacher during lessons and classroom activities.

• Working with individual pupils and small groups.

• Helping children with reading, writing, maths and other subjects.

• Keeping pupils engaged and encouraging them to participate.

• Providing additional support to children who need help with their learning.

• Encouraging positive behaviour and good classroom routines.

• Helping pupils develop confidence and independence.

• Supporting children's social skills and communication.

• Creating a positive, welcoming and inclusive classroom environment.

What we're looking for

We're interested in people who are reliable, approachable and genuinely enjoy working with children.

Previous school experience is beneficial but isn't essential. You may have worked as a Teaching Assistant, TA, SEN TA, LSA, Nursery Practitioner, Support Worker, Youth Worker or Sports Coach, or simply have valuable experience working with children.

You'll ideally be:

• Friendly, positive and approachable.

• Patient and understanding.

• Confident communicating with children.

• Comfortable working as part of a team.

• Adaptable and happy to get involved.

• Reliable and professional.

• Keen to support children's learning and development.

You'll also need an Enhanced DBS, or be willing to apply for one, and have the Right to Work in the UK.

What you can expect from Vision for Education

• £92.56–£105 per day.

• Weekly PAYE pay.

• Full-time, part-time and flexible opportunities.

• Short-term and long-term placements.

• Immediate starts available.

• Free CPD and training opportunities.

• SEND, safeguarding, autism and behaviour training.

• Pension contributions.

• A dedicated consultant providing ongoing support.

• Opportunities to progress into longer-term and permanent school positions.
