Trainee Teaching Assistant – Mainstream Primary School (Bolton)
Are you passionate about supporting children and looking to start a rewarding career in education? We are seeking a Trainee Teaching Assistant to join a mainstream primary school in Bolton for the 2025/2026 academic year. This temporary role is ideal for individuals who have experience or evidence of working with children, whether through volunteering, youth work, mentoring, or other childcare roles—not necessarily in a classroom.
As a Trainee Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with experienced teachers and support staff to help create a positive and engaging learning environment. This role provides an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in a school setting and develop skills to progress in a career in education.

About the Role
Your responsibilities will include:
• Assisting teachers with classroom management and lesson delivery
• Supporting pupils’ learning and development in literacy, numeracy, and other subjects
• Helping children stay engaged, motivated, and confident in their learning
• Encouraging positive behaviour and contributing to a safe, welcoming classroom environment
• Supporting individual or small groups of pupils with additional learning needs
This role is ideal for individuals with experience working with children in any setting, including youth clubs, sports coaching, mentoring, volunteering, or childcare. Previous classroom experience is helpful but not essential.

Requirements
To be successful in this role, you should have:
• Experience or evidence of working with children, even outside a classroom setting
• A genuine interest in supporting children’s learning and development
• Enthusiasm, reliability, and a proactive approach
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• A willingness to learn from teaching staff and take direction
• An enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one)
No formal teaching assistant qualifications are required, making this role perfect for school leavers, career changers, or anyone seeking practical experience in education.

What We Offer
• Daily rate of £89 per day
• Temporary, full-time work for the 2025/2026 academic year
• Hands-on experience working in a mainstream primary school
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression within education
• Supportive and welcoming school environment

How to Apply
If you are motivated to work with children and want to gain practical classroom experience, apply today with your CV to be considered for this Trainee Teaching Assistant role in Bolton.
