Teaching Assistant – Miss Working in a Classroom?

Date Posted:

September 10, 2026

Closing Date:

October 10, 2026

Description

Maybe it’s been six months. Maybe it’s been six years.

Perhaps you left education to raise a family, changed careers, took some time out or simply needed something different.

But every now and then, you still miss it.

The busy mornings.
The classroom chatter.
That child finally understanding something they’ve struggled with.
Being part of a school team.

If that sounds familiar, perhaps it’s time to come back.

You Don’t Have to Come Back Five Days a Week

Returning to education doesn’t have to mean jumping straight into a full-time permanent position.

Supply work can give you the opportunity to ease yourself back into school life at a pace that suits you.

Your Experience Still Counts

We’d particularly like to hear from people who:

  • Previously worked as a Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant or in a similar school-based role
  • Hold a Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification or have equivalent classroom experience
  • Have been away from education and are considering returning
  • Want work that can fit around other commitments
  • Miss making a difference in the classroom

Don’t let a gap on your CV convince you that your school experience no longer matters.

It does.
