About the role and school

Teach Plus are currently working with a welcoming and inclusive primary school in Hounslow who are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join their EYFS team from January 2027. This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate Teaching Assistant to work within a Reception class, supporting the class teacher with the delivery of an engaging Early Years curriculum. The successful Teaching Assistant will support classroom activities, deliver small group interventions in Phonics and Reading, and help create a positive learning environment where every child can thrive.

The school is a well-established two-form entry primary school in Hounslow, with a strong commitment to providing an inclusive, nurturing and stimulating learning environment. The leadership team promotes high expectations for both learning and behaviour, ensuring pupils are supported to develop confidence, independence and a love of learning. With a broad and engaging curriculum, a strong focus on early language development and positive relationships with the local community, the school provides an excellent environment for both pupils and staff to succeed.

This Teaching Assistant opportunity would suit someone with a genuine passion for working with young children and a strong understanding of the EYFS framework. You will play an important role in supporting early development, particularly in Phonics and Reading, helping children build the foundations they need for future learning. Experience delivering Little Wandle is desirable but not essential, as the school is keen to find a proactive, reliable and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant who can make a positive contribution to the Reception team.

• Provide individual support to pupils, adapting activities to meet their differing learning needs.

• Help maintain a positive, safe and stimulating classroom environment, promoting good behaviour and positive learning habits.

• Monitor children's progress and communicate effectively with the class teacher regarding their development and any additional support required.
