About this job

Do you enjoy supporting children and making a real impact in the classroom, but need the freedom to choose when and where you work?

We're proud to work in partnership with a range of friendly primary and secondary schools across the Ribble Valley and are currently seeking caring, dependable Teaching Assistants for supply work. These roles are on a day‑to‑day and short‑term basis, ideal if you enjoy flexibility and variety.

Supply work is perfect if you like gaining experience across different schools, building local relationships, or fitting work around family life or other commitments.

What you'll be doing:

• Providing 1:1 support, working with small groups, or assisting the class as a whole
• Helping to create a positive, inclusive and well‑managed learning environment
• Supporting students with additional needs where appropriate

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience working with children within a school setting (UK experience preferred)
• Is kind, patient and adaptable
• Feels confident walking into new school environments
• Holds a Level 2 or Level 3 TA qualification
• Has an enhanced DBS on the update service, or is happy to apply for one

Why choose supply work?

• Flexible opportunities that fit around your lifestyle
• Experience across a variety of local schools
• Ongoing support from an education specialist who genuinely understands the sector
• Supply roles that often lead to longer‑term or permanent positions

Whether you're an experienced Teaching Assistant, returning to education, or looking to gain more classroom experience, we'd love to chat things through.
