Daily Supply Teaching Assistant

Love working with children but want flexibility that actually fits your life?

We’re building a brilliant pool of Daily Supply Teaching Assistants across Lambeth, and we’d love you to be part of it.

Whether you’ve worked in a primary classroom, a nursery, wraparound care, sports coaching, youth groups, or a SEND setting, if you’re great with young people and can walk into a room with calm confidence, we want to hear from you.

No two days are the same on supply. One day you might be supporting a bubbly Year 2 class, the next you’re 1:1 with a pupil who just needs a steady, encouraging presence. You’re the extra pair of hands teachers rely on, and the reassuring face pupils remember.

And yes, we make sure you’re supported too.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting pupils across EYFS, KS1 or KS2

• Working 1:1 or in small groups

• Helping manage routines, transitions and classroom behaviour

• Providing SEND support where needed

• Stepping in with confidence, warmth and common sense

You might be perfect for this if you’ve worked in:

• Primary or secondary schools

• Nurseries or early years settings

• Breakfast or after-school clubs

• Sports coaching

• Youth work or mentoring

• Holiday clubs or community groups

If you’re patient, proactive and not fazed by a busy classroom, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll get with Protocol Education

• Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella companies

• FREE access to our online CPD Academy

• Personalised support from a dedicated consultant

• Opportunities in mainstream and SEND settings

• Streamlined registration and local bookings in Lambeth

• Referral scheme, earn rewards for referring friends

We know supply can feel unpredictable. That’s why we focus on clear communication, regular bookings and schools that treat support staff properly.

Availability

We’re looking for educators who can commit to 3–5 days per week on a flexible, daily supply basis. If you like variety but still want consistency, this could be your sweet spot.

You’re not “just” a TA. You’re the calm in the chaos, the quiet encourager, the one who notices when a child’s having a wobble and steps in before it becomes a storm. Schools in Lambeth need more people like you.
