Are you passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel proud of what they achieve?

New Directions Education is looking for enthusiastic, caring, and dedicated Teaching Assistants to join a range of Primary, Secondary and SEND settings across Cheshire East.

This is more than a classroom role—it’s about shaping futures, building confidence, and being the person children look up to.

• Help teachers bring lessons to life, adapting activities so every child feels included
• Celebrate achievements, track progress, and give feedback that motivates pupils
• Promote positivity, resilience, and kindness through your support and guidance
• Work closely with teachers, SENCOs, and support staff to provide the best learning environment

Why You’ll Love It

• Be part of a school community that is friendly, inclusive, and supportive
• See the impact of your work every day—children growing in confidence and achieving their goals
• Gain valuable experience to support a career in teaching or education
• Flexible opportunities available: full-time and part-time roles

What We’re Looking For

• A genuine passion for helping children reach their potential
• A patient, adaptable, and positive approach
• Team spirit and strong communication skills
• Experience with children is an advantage, but not essential if you’re eager to learn
