Teaching Assistants Required - Schools in Ely
Are you a proactive, nurturing, and reliable individual looking for a rewarding role in education? Whether you are seeking the ultimate flexibility of day‑to‑day supply or the consistency and stability of a long‑term placement, we have opportunities to suit your lifestyle. We are recruiting dedicated Teaching Assistants for daily and long‑term roles at a variety of welcoming primary and secondary schools across Ely and the surrounding areas. This role is ideal for experienced teaching assistants, university students looking for flexible income, or individuals with a background in childcare, support work, sports coaching, or youth mentoring who want to gain structured classroom experience.
Choose the Path that Suits You:
- Day-to-Day Supply: Take absolute control of your schedule. Choose exactly which days you want to work to perfectly fit around your personal commitments, family life, or studies. It is a fantastic way to experience different local schools.
- Long‑Term Placements: Enjoy the stability of working within a consistent school, department, or class team for a term or a full academic year. Get to know the pupils' routines, support their ongoing academic progress, and become a valued part of the school community.
What We Are Looking For:
- Previous experience working with children or young people (in a school, nursery, youth club, coaching, or similar setting).
- A patient, enthusiastic personality with the ability to quickly build a safe, positive rapport with students.
- Strong literacy and numeracy skills to confidently support pupils with their reading, writing, maths, or secondary subject curricula.
- An adaptable and proactive mindset—someone ready to jump into different classrooms and support the class teacher effectively.
- A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or the willingness to apply for one).
What Is in it for You?
- Competitive daily rates of pay, paid weekly into your account.
- The ultimate work‑life balance, with zero planning, marking, or weekend commitments.
- A dedicated local consultant with excellent knowledge of the Ely and Cambridgeshire education market.
- A brilliant opportunity to trial different local schools, which can frequently lead to permanent positions if that is your ultimate goal.
