South Leeds and Surrounding Areas | Competitive Rates of Pay

Are you a skilled Teaching Assistant with a current Team Teach qualification? Do you want to make a difference while enjoying flexible work opportunities that could lead to a longer-term role?

We’re looking for dedicated Teaching Assistants to support schools and SEN settings across South Leeds. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with pupils who need extra guidance, helping them thrive in education while building your own career in the process.

About the Pupils:

You’ll work with children and young people who may face significant challenges, including Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and behavioural difficulties. These pupils benefit greatly from supportive adults who act as positive role models, building trust and providing the stability they need to thrive.

Why Join Us?

• Flexible Work: Opportunities that align with your availability.
• Career Growth: Many placements lead to long-term or permanent roles in local schools.
• Supportive Environment: Work in mainstream schools, SEN provisions, and alternative settings.
• Competitive Pay: Rewarding rates of pay for your expertise and commitment.

Your Role Will Include:

• Supporting pupils with additional needs, including those with challenging behaviour, helping them feel safe and supported in their learning environment.
• Using your Team Teach skills to de-escalate situations and manage behaviour positively.
• Building meaningful relationships to inspire confidence and encourage positive choices.
• Assisting with classroom activities, ensuring every pupil can engage and succeed.
• Acting as a role model, showing empathy and understanding while setting clear boundaries.
• Collaborating with teachers and support staff to create a nurturing and structured environment.

What We’re Looking For:

• A current Team Teach qualification is essential.
• Experience working with children or young people with SEMH needs, behavioural difficulties, or similar challenges.
• Resilience, patience, and a genuine passion for supporting young people.
• Access to your own transport is preferred but not essential.

Location:
We have opportunities available across South Leeds, including areas like Morley, Beeston, and Rothwell.

At Teaching Personnel, we’re here to help you make an impact while finding rewarding opportunities that could lead to a longer-term role. If you’re ready to inspire, support, and guide pupils who need positive role models, we’d love to hear from you.
