Thank you for your application

I joined Class People in September 2025 as a Recruitment Consultant specialising in Teaching Assistants and Special Educational Needs. I support schools in finding reliable, skilled, and committed staff for a range of roles, from short-term cover to long-term and permanent placements. I take a consultative, honest approach to recruitment, with a strong understanding of the SEN sector and its unique challenges. My aim is to provide high-quality matches that benefit both candidates and schools. If you're a support professional looking for your next role, or a school needing specialist staff, feel free to get in touch!

Class People are working with a number of welcoming primary and secondary schools in the Stroud area who are looking for dedicated Teaching Assistants to join their teams.
As a Teaching Assistant, you&rsquo;ll play a vital role in supporting children&rsquo;s learning &mdash; helping them build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy their time in the classroom.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about education, whether you&rsquo;re an experienced TA, a recent graduate considering teaching, or simply someone who loves working with young people.
