Are you a Teaching Assistant, LSA or HLTA looking for flexible work in primary schools across Bradford?

TeacherActive is recruiting experienced and enthusiastic support staff to join our Bradford primary supply team, supporting schools across KS1 (Years 1 and 2).

This is agency-based supply work, so there is no single school attached to the role. On day-to-day supply, you could work across a number of different primary schools throughout Bradford, giving you the opportunity to build relationships with different settings and find schools that suit you.

We have opportunities ranging from day-to-day cover to longer-term placements, with successful supply placements regularly having the potential to develop into long-term and permanent opportunities directly with schools.

As a KS1 Teaching Assistant, you may be required to:

Support pupils across Year 1 and Year 2

Assist the class teacher with lessons and classroom activities

Provide general classroom and small-group support

Support pupils with SEND or additional learning needs where required

Help maintain positive behaviour and engagement

Support phonics, literacy and numeracy activities

Adapt quickly to different primary school environments

Previous experience working with primary-aged children is desirable. A DBS on the Update Service is preferred, although support can be provided with obtaining one.

Whether you're looking for five days a week or flexible day-to-day work around other commitments, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today to join our Bradford primary supply team and start working across local schools this September.
