Teaching Assistant (TA)

Teaching Assistants, often known as TAs, work in schools to support teachers and help pupils with their learning. They assist in classroom management, provide one-to-one or small group support, and help with administrative tasks such as preparing materials. TAs play a crucial role in helping pupils who have special educational needs or those who need extra help to catch up. The role can vary depending on the school and age group, but it usually involves both academic and pastoral support. Teaching Assistants often work term-time only, which can provide a good work-life balance, especially for those with families.
