Education Support Assistant:

Do you have a knack for motivating and inspiring others? If so, this teaching assistant position could be right up your alley. Working closely with students, you'll play a key role in supporting the teacher and helping students stay on task.

This role is anything but monotonous – one day you could be providing one-on-one support to students with special educational needs, while the next you might be assisting with group reading or math activities.

Not only will you enhance your classroom skills, but you'll also have the opportunity to showcase your classroom management abilities.

What we're looking for:

  • Compassionate and able to connect with students.
  • Able to remain composed in high-pressure situations.
  • Prior experience in a school setting or with children is desirable, but not mandatory – you'll learn on the job.
  • Proactive in assisting the class teacher.

Your responsibilities:

  • Build genuine relationships and earn students' trust.
  • Collaborate with teachers to support students' development.
  • Work with students individually or in groups to ensure comprehension of lessons.
  • Enforce school behavior policies to encourage positive conduct and classroom order.
  • Deliver instructions clearly to cater to students of all abilities.
  • Assist with classroom setup, lesson material preparation, and general administrative tasks.

Why choose Protocol Education:

  • Competitive compensation based on your experience and role.
  • Flexible schedules to accommodate your availability and prior commitments.
  • Assured work agreements for consistent income.
  • Professional development opportunities during school breaks.
  • Support with CV writing and career advancement tools.
  • Guidance and assistance from our team in securing your ideal position.
  • Networking opportunities for new or transitioning teachers.
  • Exciting social gatherings to appreciate your dedication and performance.

Start date: Monday 3rd June 2024

Hours: 08:30 – 15:30, Monday to Friday (part-time options available)
