Contract Type: Temporary - Full Time
Pay: £109.85 per day

Spencer Clarke Group are recruiting Unqualified Primary Teaching Assistants to work within mainstream primary schools across the Wirral, including Birkenhead, Wallasey, Bebington, Prenton and surrounding areas.
These roles involve supporting children across EYFS, KS1 and KS2, including pupils who may require additional support with learning, communication, behaviour or emotional regulation. You could be working within the classroom, providing 1:1 support or helping small groups of pupils access learning and develop their confidence.

Schools are particularly looking for people who are reliable, punctual and committed to providing consistency. For many children, having a familiar and trusted adult in school every day is incredibly important, so strong attendance and a genuine commitment to the placement are essential.

You do not need a Teaching Assistant qualification or previous school experience. We are interested in people with transferable experience from backgrounds such as care, children's residential services, youth work, sports coaching, nurseries, healthcare, mentoring, support work or specialist settings.

  Encourage confidence, independence and positive social interaction.
• 
  Support children's emotional regulation and behaviour where required.
• 
  Help maintain a safe, positive and inclusive classroom environment.
• 
  Build strong and consistent relationships with pupils and staff.

• 
  Youth work or mentoring.
• 
  Sports coaching.
• 
  Nursery or early years experience.
• 
  Healthcare or community support.
• 
  Behaviour or pastoral support.
•

• 
  Previous voluntary or paid experience working with children or young people.

What We're Looking For:

  Excellent reliability, punctuality and attendance.
• 
  A patient, caring and resilient approach.
• 
  Confidence working with children and young people.
• 
  Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• 
  Ability to remain calm when supporting challenging behaviour.
• 
  A proactive attitude and willingness to get involved.
• 
  Flexibility and the ability to adapt to different pupil needs.
• 
  A genuine interest in developing a career within primary education.
