Love grammar games, giggle-worthy group work, and cheering on curious minds? This one’s for you.
We’re on the hunt for a kind, capable, and KS2-savvy Teaching Assistant to support brilliant pupils across welcoming primary schools in Lewisham. From helping Year 3s master their times tables to high-fiving Year 6s through SATs season, this role is all about keeping learning fun, focused, and full of heart.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Supporting the class teacher with daily routines, behaviour, and lesson prep
-
Working 1:1 and in small groups—especially on reading, writing, and numeracy
-
Encouraging independence and building confidence across the upper years
-
Creating a calm, consistent classroom vibe (yes, even when it’s fractions Friday)
-
Celebrating small wins—because every lightbulb moment counts
What We’re Looking For:
-
Experience working in a primary school or KS2 setting
-
A warm, patient, and positive approach (you’re the calm in the chaos)
-
Someone who’ll jump into story time, spelling bees, and tidy-up time alike
-
SEN experience is a bonus, but not essential
-
A valid DBS on the Update Service (or happy to apply for one)
