TA jobs with Connex Education
Teaching assistants play a vital role in the support and development of children’s learning. They work closely with teachers within classes to support whole-class activities, small groups or individual children; their role is to help make sure pupils can learn in a safe and caring setting.
We all want students to be able to learn in a safe, nurturing and happy environment. For these reasons, a teacher may need help inside and outside the classroom to maintain this setting, particularly for a bigger class.
Connex Education fills teaching assistant roles in a wide range of schools and education settings, on a part-time and full-time basis for short and long-term assignments. Our supply teaching assistants are a vital part of the support we offer our partner schools and the education of their pupils.
Supply TA jobs might include responsibilities such as:
- Getting the classroom ready for lessons
- Listening to children read, reading to them or telling them stories
- Helping children who need extra support to complete tasks
- Helping teachers to plan learning activities and complete records
- Supporting teachers in managing class behaviour
- Supervising group activities
- Looking after children who are upset or have had accidents
- Clearing away materials and equipment after lessons
- Helping with outings and sports events
- Taking part in training
- Carrying out administrative tasks
Of course, it doesn’t stop there. You might even be a helping hand in mapping out learning strategies with the teacher, and providing them with feedback which could improve their lesson, and potentially a child’s education.
