Job Description

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant looking for your next rewarding role?

New Directions Education is seeking dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistants to support primary schools across Harrogate and the wider North Yorkshire area. We are working with a range of welcoming schools looking for reliable support staff who are passionate about helping children succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Whether you’re looking for full-time work, part-time hours, or flexible opportunities to fit around your lifestyle, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Teaching Assistant, you will:

  • Support teachers in delivering engaging and effective lessons.
  • Work with individual pupils and small groups to aid learning and development.
  • Encourage positive behaviour and help create an inclusive learning environment.
  • Provide additional support to pupils with varying learning needs.
  • Assist with classroom preparation and daily learning activities.
  • Build positive relationships with pupils, staff, and parents.
  • Help children grow in confidence and achieve their full potential.

What We’re Looking For

To be considered, you must have:

  • Previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant or in a similar role supporting children.
  • A passion for education and supporting young learners.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • A patient, positive, and proactive approach.
  • The ability to adapt to different school environments and pupil needs.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

Many of our partner schools are located across Harrogate and North Yorkshire, so drivers are preferred as some locations may be less accessible by public transport. However, we also have opportunities within accessible areas, so non-drivers are encouraged to apply.

If you have previous experience supporting children and are looking for a rewarding role within primary education, we’d love to help you find your perfect opportunity.

Apply today and join New Directions Education, supporting schools and pupils across Harrogate and North Yorkshire.
