Premier Education is recruiting experienced Teaching Assistants for a number of long-term opportunities in welcoming primary schools across the Stockport area.

We are looking for committed and reliable Teaching Assistants seeking full-time, long-term positions. These roles include classroom support, small group interventions, 1:1 support, and SEND positions across EYFS, KS1, and KS2.

Please note: Applicants must have previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant in UK primary schools. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider applicants without this experience.

One of the key benefits of registering with Premier Education is that many schools use long-term placements as a way of recruiting permanent staff. During the last academic year, a number of our Teaching Assistants secured permanent school positions after initially starting on supply through Premier Education.

The Role:

• Supporting pupils within the classroom, in small groups, or on a 1:1 basis
• Assisting the class teacher with lesson delivery and classroom organisation
• Delivering targeted interventions to support pupil progress
• Supporting children with a range of learning needs, including SEND where required
• Encouraging positive behaviour and helping to create an inclusive learning environment
• Working as part of a supportive school team on a long-term basis

Candidate Requirements:

• Previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant in UK primary schools is essential
• Experience supporting pupils with SEND is desirable
• A patient, caring, and proactive approach
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A reliable, professional, and committed attitude
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)
• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children

What’s on Offer:

• Full-time, long-term positions only – no day-to-day supply
• Opportunities across supportive and welcoming primary schools in the Stockport area
• Competitive daily pay rates
• Weekly pay through our in-house PAYE payroll
• Ongoing support from a dedicated Premier Education consultant
• Excellent opportunities to secure a permanent school position
