Start Date: September 2026 - February 2027

The Supply Register is working in partnership with the Odyssey Collaborative Trust to recruit an experienced Primary Teaching Assistant / Learning Support Assistant for a full‑time role in a primary school in Derby.

This is a general classroom role, supporting pupils in Reception and Key Stage 1 (Year 1/2) — ideal for someone who enjoys being fully involved in early years and lower primary learning.

This role is only suitable for candidates with previous experience working with children in education or care settings.

If you do not have relevant experience, this position will not be suitable.

As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll work closely with the class teacher to support pupils across the school day, helping to deliver engaging lessons and maintain a positive and structured classroom environment.

This is a hands-on, full-time classroom role, supporting both learning and development in early years and KS1.

• Support teaching and learning across Reception and KS1
• Assist the class teacher with lesson delivery and daily routines
• Provide general classroom support and small‑group interventions
• Help create a calm, nurturing, and inclusive learning environment
• Build strong relationships with pupils and staff
• Support pupils’ early development, independence, and confidence

• Experience working with children (school setting essential)
• Strong communication and behaviour‑management skills
• A patient, proactive, and supportive approach
• Confidence working in EYFS and KS1 environments
• A genuine passion for supporting young learners

• You have no experience working with children
• You are seeking non‑education roles (e.g. retail, warehouse, office)
• You are not comfortable supporting young pupils or SEN needs
• You cannot commit to full‑time school hours

• Full‑time, long‑term opportunity from September
• Competitive daily pay (£95–£100)
• Weekly pay every Friday
• Access to training and CPD opportunities
• Supportive and welcoming school environment
• Ongoing support from a dedicated Partnership Manager (Katie)
