Teaching assistant jobs in Manchester
Premier Education is a teaching assistant agency placing general and one-to-one teaching assistants, HLTAs and SEN support staff in Manchester schools and across Greater Manchester.
Premier Education places teaching assistants in primary, secondary and SEND schools across Greater Manchester, and has worked only in education since 2001. That covers Manchester itself along with Stockport, Trafford, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Altrincham, Sale and Didsbury. Day to day cover, short and long term posts and permanent roles, with same day emergency cover, weekly pay and no registration fee.
Teaching assistant work in Manchester schools
Manchester schools book teaching assistants for every kind of need: day to day cover when someone is off, short and long term posts, and permanent roles. Schools ring us from 7.00am, so if you have told us you are free, you hear about the day's work early enough to take it.
A lot of our Manchester work is one-to-one and SEN support, in mainstream classrooms and specialist settings. Our SEN jobs page explains those roles in more detail.
General, one-to-one and HLTA roles
We place general teaching assistants supporting a whole class, one-to-one support for a specific child, and higher level teaching assistants who can cover whole classes. Tell us at interview which you are best at and we will match you to it.
Where we place teaching assistants
Our head office is in Wilmslow, a short run down the A34 from the city, so Manchester and the boroughs around it are the schools we know best. We place teaching assistants in Manchester, Stockport, Trafford, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Altrincham, Sale and Didsbury.
At interview you tell us how far you are willing to travel and we work inside it. If you are closer to Cheshire, we also cover teaching assistant jobs in Macclesfield, and you can see every teaching assistant role we handle or the full list of areas we cover.

Which parts of Manchester do you cover?
Manchester itself, plus Stockport, Trafford, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Altrincham, Sale and Didsbury, and schools right across Greater Manchester.
Can I choose which boroughs I work in?
Yes. At interview we ask exactly which authorities you want to work in, or how far you are prepared to travel, and we only offer you work inside that.
How quickly can I start?
Once you are fully registered and compliant, you can be offered work straight away. The limiting factor is usually references and your DBS, so the sooner you start the process the sooner you can work.
Do Manchester schools need qualified teaching assistants?
Many prefer a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification, and it widens what we can offer you, but experience with children matters just as much.
