Are you a resilient, committed Teaching Assistant looking to make a real difference in a school that truly needs you?

We are working with a vibrant but challenging primary school in Hastings that is seeking a confident, proactive TA to join their team from January 2026. This role would suit someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, stays calm under pressure, and is passionate about supporting pupils who need consistency, patience and firm-but-fair guidance.

What the role involves:

  • Supporting pupils across EYFS/KS1/KS2 with a range of social, emotional and learning needs

  • Providing 1:1 and small-group interventions, particularly around behaviour, regulation and engagement

  • Working closely with the class teacher and SENDCo to implement strategies and maintain positive learning routines

  • Being a steady, reliable presence for children who benefit from structure and strong boundaries

  • Contributing to a team that values inclusion, restorative practice and resilience

The ideal candidate:

  • Has experience working in challenging school settings or with pupils with SEMH, behavioural needs or trauma

  • Can build relationships quickly while maintaining high expectations

  • Is confident, assertive and able to defuse situations with calm, consistent support

  • Understands the importance of safeguarding and professional conduct

  • Holds an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (required to be considered)

This is a brilliant opportunity to become part of a hardworking, supportive staff team where every day brings something different – and where your impact is genuinely felt.

If you're ready for a role that's rewarding, meaningful and full of variety, we'd love to hear from you.
