You're here because you want to make a difference.
You want a role where you can actually see the impact of your work.
Well, here it is.

* Age Range: KS1, KS2, KS3 * Type: Full-time, permanent * Days: Monday to Friday, 9 am to 3 pm (ideal hours, right?)
Why This Role?
As a Community Teaching Assistant, you'll be working one-on-one with children who aren't in mainstream education.
These children need something different, and your job?
To guide them through a learning journey tailored just for them.
You're not just teaching; you're creating a space where they feel supported, understood, and – maybe for the first time – excited to learn.
Why This Matters When children receive dedicated 1:1 support, it's a game-changer.
You're not just helping them keep up – you're helping them thrive.
You'll be the difference they need, the mentor they'll remember.
Who We're Looking For We need someone who gets children.
Not just "good with them," but someone who can really connect, someone who brings energy, patience, and a little spark into every lesson.
If you're fun, proactive, and all about creating excitement around learning, this could be your perfect role.
About the Hubs You may work in a specialist learning hub, a local library, or even a community centre, bringing much-needed 1:1 support right to the heart of where it's needed.
Whatever the environment, you'll be at the centre of fostering a positive, encouraging space for learning.
Here, every child gets the focus, patience, and guidance they deserve – and you'll be the one to make that happen.
