£92.56–£110 per day | Up to £550 per week | Weekly Pay | Flexible Working

Want to work in a primary school but don't have a Teaching Assistant qualification? You could be exactly who we're looking for.

You don't need a teaching qualification to make a difference in a child's education. You need to be patient, reliable, enthusiastic and good with children.

At Vision For Education, we're recruiting Unqualified Teaching Assistants to support primary schools across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove and surrounding areas.

Whether you're looking for full-time work, a few days a week or an opportunity to gain experience before pursuing a career in education, we'd love to hear from you.

What Does the Work Involve?

• Supporting children across Reception to Year 6 in local primary schools.

• Working with individual pupils, small groups or alongside the class teacher.

• Helping children with reading, writing, maths and classroom activities.

• Encouraging positive behaviour, confidence and engagement.

• Supporting teachers with the day-to-day running of the classroom.

• Opportunities for day-to-day supply, regular weekly bookings and longer-term placements.

Locations include:

Stoke-on-Trent, Hanley, Tunstall, Burslem, Fenton, Longton, Meir, Blurton, Bentilee, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove, Audley, Biddulph and surrounding areas.

We'll always aim to match you with schools that are convenient for where you live.

We welcome applications from people with transferable experience, including:

• Sports coaches and youth workers who enjoy helping children develop.

• Care workers and support workers looking for a change of environment.
