Primary Teaching Assistant – Watford

Make a difference every day as a Primary Teaching Assistant.

Educo Recruitment is recruiting for Primary Teaching Assistant opportunities across a range of primary schools in Watford.

If you have experience working with children and are looking to develop your career in education, we want to hear from you. You don’t need previous experience as a Teaching Assistant — we’re interested in candidates with relevant experience from schools, nurseries, childcare, tutoring, youth work, sports, care and other child-focused settings.

With a variety of schools and positions available, we can help you find an opportunity that suits your experience, strengths and availability.

The Role

As a Primary Teaching Assistant, you’ll support pupils with their learning, development and wellbeing. Depending on the role, you may be:

* Supporting pupils across EYFS, KS1 or KS2.

* Providing 1:1 and small-group support.

* Helping children access lessons and build confidence.

* Supporting pupils with SEND and additional needs.

* Encouraging positive behaviour and independence.

* Working closely with teachers and support staff.

What We’re Looking For

* Previous experience working with children or young people is essential.

* Experience can be from a school, nursery, childcare, tutoring, youth work, sports, care, mentoring or other child-focused setting.

* A patient, resilient and compassionate approach.

* The ability to build positive relationships and adapt support to individual needs.

* Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

* An enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one.

Why Apply?

* Access long-term and full-time Teaching Assistant opportunities.

* Competitive rates of pay, dependent on experience.

* Gain valuable experience across a range of primary school settings.

* Ongoing guidance and support from your dedicated Educo Recruitment consultant.

* Access to a range of opportunities across Watford.
