Looking for flexible, rewarding work in education?

Axcis Education is seeking enthusiastic and caring individuals to join our team of flexible Teaching Assistants supporting schools across Taunton. This role is ideal for anyone wanting meaningful work that fits around other commitments — such as university studies, creative projects, childcare, or additional jobs.

You’ll have the chance to support children with special educational needs (SEND) in welcoming school environments, helping them grow in confidence and achieve their potential — all while keeping your evenings and weekends free and gaining valuable experience.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups, under the guidance of the class teacher
• Assisting children with special educational needs such as autism, ADHD, and social, emotional or behavioural challenges
• Encouraging positive learning experiences and helping children develop life skills
• Choosing your availability each week using the Axcis app — work when it suits you!

Who We’re Looking For:

We welcome applications from people with a variety of backgrounds — including students and professionals from fields like psychology, sociology, criminology, drama, art, sport, and education.

You’ll be a great fit if you are:

• Patient, resilient, and calm under pressure
• Empathetic and confident supporting children or vulnerable individuals
• Reliable, proactive, and willing to learn
• Passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people

Experience working with children, young people, or adults with additional needs is highly valued.

What We Offer:

• Flexible work – choose when and where you work each week
• Professional development – access to free training in Autism Awareness, Safeguarding, First Aid, and more
• Weekly pay – £89 per day, paid every Friday
• Real classroom experience – gain insight into SEND and mainstream school settings
• Supportive agency team – our local consultants are here to help you find the right placements

If you’d like to earn, learn, and make a real impact in the classroom — while keeping a healthy work/life balance — we’d love to hear from you.
