Are you passionate about making a difference in children’s lives?
Do you have experience supporting young people or come from a care background?
Are you looking for a rewarding role where every day is different?
TeacherActive is proud to be recruiting for Teaching Assistants across Barnstaple. We’re looking for caring, adaptable, and dedicated individuals to support pupils across Primary, Secondary, and SEND settings. Qualifications are preferred but not essential — if you have relevant experience working with children or vulnerable young people, we’d love to hear from you.
Whether you’re looking for full-time or part-time work, we can offer flexibility to suit your lifestyle, along with competitive pay, ongoing CPD training, and access to our Guaranteed Pay Scheme (terms apply).
A Day in the Life of a Teaching Assistant
Your day might begin by greeting pupils as they arrive, helping them settle into class, and setting up learning materials. You’ll support the teacher with group activities, provide one-to-one assistance for pupils who need extra help, and celebrate those “lightbulb” learning moments. At break times, you’ll be a friendly face in the playground — building confidence, encouraging inclusion, and making a genuine impact every single day.
If you’re compassionate, patient, and eager to support children in achieving their best, this could be the perfect role for you.
