About the role
Heart of Supply is incredibly excited to be partnering with schools across Scunthorpe and supporting local education settings with their recruitment needs.
We are working with a number of welcoming and supportive schools that are looking for enthusiastic and experienced Teaching Assistants to join their teams. These schools understand the difference a great Teaching Assistant can make and are keen to find individuals who genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow and build confidence.

No two days are the same, making this a varied, rewarding role where you can make a real difference every day.
Whether you're supporting phonics in EYFS, helping pupils develop confidence in Key Stage 1, or providing targeted support in Key Stage 2, your contribution will have a lasting impact on children's educational journeys.
We are looking for proactive, adaptable and caring Teaching Assistants who are comfortable working across different age groups and supporting a variety of learning needs. In return, you'll have the opportunity to work in schools where your experience is valued, your support is appreciated and your contribution genuinely matters.
As we continue to grow our presence across Scunthorpe, this is an exciting opportunity to become part of our expanding network of education professionals and build relationships with schools that could lead to longer-term and permanent opportunities.
