Unqualified Learning Support Assistant
Job description
Do you have a nurturing and compassionate nature?
Are you someone who can connect with and mentor young people who need a guiding hand?
Teaching Personnel is looking for caring, confident individuals with experience supporting children or young people who struggle with emotional regulation and have often experienced trauma. If you have a background in youth work, care, or behavioural support, this could be the perfect role for you.
As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll do more than support academics—you’ll become a trusted adult who helps pupils build emotional resilience, improve behaviour, and develop essential life skills.
Why This Role Stands Out:
-
Small class sizes (8–10 pupils) allowing for meaningful one-on-one engagement
-
Holistic approach – students learn core subjects like English and Maths, along with practical life skills including cooking and mechanics (with an on-site garage!)
-
No prior teaching qualifications needed—just relevant experience and the right mindset
-
Flexible schedule to support a healthy work/life balance
-
Strong potential for a permanent contract for the right candidate
What We’re Looking For:
-
A genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to learning
-
Confidence and calmness when working with children who may present challenging behaviours
-
Adaptability, resilience, and a positive attitude in dynamic classroom settings
-
A natural ability to build trust and strong relationships
About the role:
- 08:30- 4:30
- Term time only
- £13.75 per day
This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a real, lasting impact on a child’s life.
If you're ready to be a role model and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today—we look forward to supporting your journey.
All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQ’s on the Teaching Personnel website for details.
All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.
Teaching Personnel is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We undertake safeguarding checks on all workers in accordance with DfE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ this may also include an online search as part of our due diligence on shortlisted applicants.
We offer all our registered candidates FREE child protection and prevent duty training. All candidates must undertake or have undertaken a valid enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Full assistance provided.
