Job Description:

We are seeking a dedicated Secondary Teaching Assistant to join our partner secondary schools in Purfleet-on-Thames. This role is vital for supporting students who require extra guidance to reach their full potential. You will work across a variety of subjects, supporting students with diverse needs-including those with SEN or those requiring additional literacy and numeracy support-ensuring that no child is left behind in the fast-paced secondary environment.

Job Responsibility:

  • Academic Support: Work 1:1 or with small intervention groups to explain complex concepts, helping students complete tasks in subjects like English, Maths, and Science.
  • Inclusion Focus: Assist students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ensuring they can access the curriculum and participate fully in classroom activities.
  • Behaviour Mentoring: Act as a positive role model, helping students stay focused and managing low-level disruptions according to the school's policy.
  • Exam Access: Provide support during internal and external assessments, potentially acting as a reader or scribe for students with specific access arrangements.
  • Social Development: Support students' emotional wellbeing, helping them build the confidence and 'soft skills' necessary for life beyond school.
  • Teacher Collaboration: Assist subject teachers in preparing resources and managing the classroom environment to ensure smooth lesson delivery.

Requirements:

  • The Right Attitude: You must be proactive, adaptable, and possess a genuine desire to see young people succeed.
  • Communication Skills: The ability to build rapport quickly with teenagers and explain information in a clear, relatable way.
  • Resilience: A calm and patient demeanor, especially when supporting students who may find school challenging or frustrating.
  • Educational Background: A strong standard of literacy and numeracy (Grade C/4 or above in GCSE English and Maths). A degree is preferred but not essential.
  • Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
What we offer:
  • Competitive Rates: £95 - £110 per day
  • Thurrock Expertise: Benefit from our deep connections with secondary schools and academies in Purfleet, Aveley, and Grays.
  • Career Growth: Access free, certified CPD modules (such as Safeguarding and Behaviour Management) to strengthen your CV for future teaching applications.
  • Flexibility & Stability: We offer long-term placements that provide financial security and a consistent routine.
  • Referral Rewards: Earn a £300 voucher for every friend or colleague you successfully refer to our team!
