Job Title: Level 2 Teaching Assistant
Location: Barnsley
Contract: Full-time and Part-time available
Start Date: Immediate / Ongoing

Looking for a role where you’re genuinely valued, not just “extra support” at the back of the class?

We’re working with a welcoming primary school in Barnsley that’s ready for a brilliant Level 2 Teaching Assistant to join their team. Whether you’re after full-time stability or part-time flexibility, there’s space here for you to make a real difference.

You know those moments, when a child finally “gets it”, or when your calm approach turns a tricky day around? That’s what this role is all about.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting pupils across the classroom, both in groups and 1:1
• Helping to create a calm, positive learning environment
• Working closely with the class teacher to keep lessons flowing
• Supporting children with additional needs where required
• Being that steady, reassuring presence pupils rely on

What the school is looking for:

• Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification (required)
• Experience working with children in a school or similar setting
• A calm, patient, and positive approach
• Someone who can build trust quickly, with pupils and staff alike
• A team player who’s happy to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in

Why this role stands out:

• Friendly, supportive staff team who genuinely look out for each other
• Well-structured school day, no chaos, just good routines
• Opportunities to develop your skills and grow in confidence
• Flexible working options to suit your lifestyle

What you’ll get with us:

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
• Free access to CPD, including SEND and behaviour support training
• A dedicated consultant who actually listens to what you want
• Local roles that fit around you

You’re not “just a TA”. You’re the calm in the chaos, the extra pair of hands, and often the reason a child has a good day. This school gets that, and they’re ready to welcome someone just like you.
