Supply Teaching Assistants – Birmingham

Teach is currently recruiting enthusiastic, caring and experienced Teaching Assistants to work on a supply basis across Birmingham and the surrounding areas.

If you’re passionate about supporting children and young people and want the flexibility to choose when and where you work, we’d love to hear from you.

We work with a wide range of schools, offering opportunities across mainstream primary and secondary schools, specialist provisions and SEND settings.

As a Supply Teaching Assistant, your role will vary depending on the school and the needs of the pupils. You may:

*

Support pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups

Reliable and professional

Adaptable and confident working in different school environments

Able to build positive relationships with pupils and staff

Why work with Teach?

We can offer:

*

Competitive rates of pay

*

Flexible supply opportunities

*

Access to a wide range of mainstream and SEND schools

*

Opportunities across Manchester and surrounding areas

*

The chance to gain experience across different school settings

Opportunities to develop your career within education
