Teaching Assistant – Year 5 | NW7 We are recruiting for a Teaching Assistant to join a Year 5 class at a well-established primary school in the Mill Hill area. The position is full time, five days per week, and is due to begin in September. The school is keen to arrange trials with shortlisted candidates during the first week of September. Unlike a purely 1:1 support position, this is a varied classroom-based role. You will work alongside the Year 5 teacher, supporting learning across the curriculum and helping pupils get the most from lessons. Day to day, you could be working with a small maths group, helping individual pupils with a piece of writing, providing additional support to children who need concepts broken down further, or helping the teacher keep the whole class engaged and on task. What we're looking for: Ideally, you'll already have some experience working as a Teaching Assistant or supporting children of a similar age. Strong English and maths skills are important, as Year 5 pupils will be working with increasingly challenging KS2 content. More importantly, you'll need to be confident, patient and proactive.

Position details Full-time Teaching Assistant Year 5 / Key Stage 2 Monday to Friday Mill Hill, NW7 The school offers a modern working environment, good outdoor facilities and a supportive staff team.…Teaching Assistant – Year 5 | NW7 We are recruiting for a Teaching Assistant to join a Year 5 class at a well-established primary school in the Mill Hill area.

Roles

What roles do you cover?

We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.

What areas do you cover?

We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.

How much work is there?

Generally speaking, we have consistently high demand for daily supply teachers in Greater London, Manchester Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. Teaching assistant work is generally higher for long-term roles rather than daily supply cover.

Do you have primary, secondary or nursery jobs?

Yes. We can help with daily supply and long-term jobs in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. We don't typically have jobs in further education or college.

Do you have work for cover supervisors, invigilators, or school administrators?

While the majority of our work is for teachers and teaching assistants, we do also have work for cover supervisors and invigilators. Explain what you are looking for when you sign up and our team will help you.

What subjects do you cover?

We cover all subjects taught in primary and secondary schools - if you're not sure if we can help you with what you're looking for, please register and arrange to speak to a member of our Teacher Success team.

Do you do school admin jobs?

If you're looking for teaching or teaching assistant roles, and would also be interested in admin roles, it's worth letting us know. If you're only looking for admin roles, we might not be the place for you, as this isn't what we specialise in.

How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?

Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.
