We're working with schools around St Austell looking for friendly, reliable Teaching Assistants who want to make a real difference. Whether you've supported children in mainstream or SEN settings, or have experience in other youth roles, this flexible work offers genuine impact.

No formal qualifications needed - a good attitude, patience, and some experience supporting young people (including those with special educational needs) is what counts.

  • Helping children stay focused, confident, and engaged

  • Assisting pupils with additional needs, including SEN and behavioural challenges

  • Working closely with teachers and SEN staff to provide tailored support

  • Helping to create a calm, positive, and inclusive classroom environment



We're after someone who:

  • Has experience working with children or young people, ideally including SEN

  • Is patient, approachable, and proactive

  • Can follow routines but also adapt to pupils' varying needs

  • Works well within a team and communicates clearly



You'll need:

  • Enhanced DBS (or willingness to apply)

  • Two references from the last two years

  • The right to work in the UK



What's in it for you?

  • Flexible placements that fit your lifestyle

  • Competitive pay with weekly payments

  • Ongoing support from a recruiter who knows local schools and SEN needs

  • Free training to build your skills and confidence

If this sounds like your next role, get in touch anytime - I'd love to help you find a great fit.
