Teaching Assistant

TeacherActive is currently working in partnership with primary schools across Bristol who are seeking to appoint reliable and dedicated Primary Teaching Assistants for immediate start roles. These schools value support staff who bring energy, care, and flexibility into the classroom—whether working one-to-one, in small groups, or supporting the whole class alongside the teacher.

We’re committed to providing high-quality, professional staff to our schools and offer in-house Career Progression and Development opportunities to support your ongoing professional growth. Whether you're seeking day-to-day supply, a long-term role, or a permanent position, our experienced consultants are here to offer flexible options and dedicated support—helping you find the role that best suits your career goals.

The successful Teaching Assistant will have:

• Experience supporting pupils in a UK primary school setting (KS1 and/or KS2)

• A proactive, nurturing, and adaptable approach to learning support

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team

• A relevant qualification (e.g. CACHE Level 2/3, or equivalent) is desirable but not essential

In return, you can expect to receive:

• A dedicated consultant available 24/7 to support you throughout the onboarding process

• Access to our Guaranteed Payment Scheme (T&Cs apply)

• CPD Courses and certificates through our My-Progression channel

• Competitive daily rates of pay
