Year 1 Teaching Assistant

Job description

Teach Now is delighted to be recruiting a dedicated Year 1 Teaching Assistant to join a warm, inclusive, and high-achieving primary school in Haringey. This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about supporting early learners and confident in delivering both general classroom support and targeted intervention work.

About The Role

As the Year 1 Teaching Assistant, you will play a key part in delivering high-quality learning experiences while supporting children’s reading, writing, and social development. A strong understanding of the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme is essential, as you will help lead small-group and 1:1 interventions to ensure rapid progress.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting Year 1 pupils through focused interventions and class-based learning
• Confidently leading Read Write Inc. Phonics sessions
• Working closely with the class teacher to create an engaging learning environment
• Encouraging independence and positive behaviour
• Providing support for pupils with diverse learning needs
• Collaborating with a team of committed, caring professionals
  
  

About The School

This school is known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and its strong sense of community. Children are exceptionally well behaved, enthusiastic, and eager to learn. Staff work as a united team, guided by shared values that shape everyday practice. The school is proud of its inclusive ethos and dedication to ensuring excellent progress for every child—no matter their background or starting point.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Highly supportive and collaborative staff culture
• Clear values guiding teaching and learning
• Enthusiastic Year 1 children who thrive with structure and encouragement
• A meaningful opportunity to accelerate pupil progress through targeted interventions
  
  

If you’re a motivated and compassionate TA ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
