Job Description

PRIMARY TEACHING ASSISTANT

Location: Aylesbury

Start: September 2026

Full Time: Temporary to Permanent

Pay: £90–£120 per day

The first thing you notice isn’t the lesson.

It’s the small things:

A pupil who stays focused longer

A child who asks for help instead of giving up

A quieter classroom during transitions

That’s where this role sits.

What You Actually Do All Day

You won’t be delivering lessons — but you will make them work.

You will:

Support the teacher during whole‑class learning

Help pupils who get stuck or distracted

Reinforce instructions and expectations

Work with small groups when needed

Keep routines consistent across the day

This Role Works Best If

You notice things others miss

You don’t mind repeating instructions calmly

You are consistent, not reactive

This is not a “stand at the back” role.

You are part of how the classroom functions.
