Are you a Teaching Assistant, LSA or HLTA looking for flexible work in primary schools across Leeds?
TeacherActive is recruiting experienced and enthusiastic support staff to join our Leeds primary supply team, supporting schools across KS2 (Years 3 to 6).

We have opportunities ranging from day-to-day cover to longer-term placements, with successful supply placements regularly having the potential to develop into long-term and permanent opportunities directly with schools.

Support pupils across Years 3 to 6
Assist the class teacher with lessons and classroom activities
Provide general classroom and small-group support
Support pupils with SEND or additional learning needs where required
