1:1 Teaching Assistant Job – Gloucester

Class People is working with a welcoming primary school on the outskirts of Gloucester that is looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a Year 6 pupil.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who is passionate about helping children thrive and, importantly, has a genuine interest in sport.

The successful candidate will work closely with the pupil, providing tailored support throughout the school day and helping them to engage positively with their learning and wider school experience.

About the Role

As a 1:1 Teaching Assistant, you will:

• Provide dedicated 1:1 support to a Year 6 pupil
• Support the pupil with their learning and classroom engagement
• Build a positive and trusting relationship with the child
• Encourage participation in school activities
• Support positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing
• Work closely with the class teacher and wider school team
• Use your interest in sport to help engage and motivate the pupil
• Encourage confidence, independence and participation

The role will be based three days per week at the start of the school week – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Sport Interest Essential

The school is particularly keen to find someone who has a genuine interest in sport.

Sport could be a fantastic way to build rapport with the pupil, encourage engagement and create positive opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom.

You don't need to be a sports coach – we're simply looking for someone who enjoys sport and can use that interest to help build a strong relationship with the child.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be:

• Patient, caring and approachable
• Confident supporting a Year 6 pupil
• Passionate about helping children succeed
• Interested in sport
• Able to build strong and trusting relationships
• Calm and consistent in their approach
• Reliable and committed to the three-day working pattern
• Comfortable working as part of a wider school team

Previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant or 1:1 TA would be beneficial, although we are also keen to hear from individuals with relevant experience working with children.

When you work with us, you'll benefit from:

• Local opportunities around Gloucester
• Dedicated consultant support
• Competitive rates of pay
