Salary: £89.38 - 115.00 per day + PAYE / £250 REFERRAL*

This Gateshead primary school regularly uses supply teaching assistants to provide consistency and extra classroom support. Once staff are familiar and confident, the school often requests the same TAs again — leading to regular work and long-term placements.

This role is perfect for those looking to gain experience first, with the aim of moving into longer-term TA roles or further training.

 

The Role:

  • Supporting teachers and pupils throughout the day

  • Assisting with lessons and activities

  • Supporting classroom routines

  • Helping pupils stay engaged

What’s Already in Place:

  • Welcoming and supportive staff

  • Clear expectations

  • Structured learning environment

Essential Requirements:

  • Interest in working with children

  • Positive attitude

  • Availability during term time

Benefits That Really Stand Out:

  • No experience needed

  • Weekly pay

  • FREE training and ongoing support

  • Regular work once relationships are built

  • Pathway into long-term TA or teacher training roles

 

This is a flexible, supportive way to gain school experience and build a future in education — starting locally in Gateshead.
