Job Description

SUPPLY TEACHING ASSISTANTS Cheltenham - Ad-hoc Supply & Long-Term Opportunities - Thrive Education What if your next great school day is only one phone call away? Thrive Education is looking for Teaching Assistants in and around Cheltenham who want the flexibility of supply without closing the door on something more permanent. Whether you're looking to work the odd day here and there, want something to fit around other commitments, or are searching for a long-term position that could ultimately become permanent, we'd love to hear from you. HERE'S WHAT YOU COULD BE DOING One day you might be supporting learning in a mainstream classroom. The next, you could be providing 1:1 support. Another day could see you working alongside a child or young person with additional needs. That's the beauty of supply — no two days have to look the same. We work with a range of schools across Cheltenham, giving our TAs the opportunity to experience different settings, build their experience and find the environments where they really thrive. WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU Essential : Previous experience working with children — this can be through education, childcare, youth work, volunteering or another relevant setting A genuine interest in supporting children to learn, develop and succeed Reliability and a professional attitude The ability to adapt quickly to different schools, classrooms and situations Desirable : Experience working with children or young people with SEN/SEND A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle A relevant TA, childcare or education qualification You don't need to have years of classroom experience. What matters most is that you understand children, can build positive relationships and are prepared to get stuck in. WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU? With Thrive Education, you can choose the type of work that suits you. AD-HOC SUPPLY Want to work when it suits you? Pick up individual days and build your week around your availability. LONG-TERM PLACEMENTS Looking for consistency? We have longer-term opportunities where you can become part of a school community and make a genuine difference. TEMP-TO-PERM Found a school where you love working? Some long-term placements can lead to a permanent position. A LOCAL CONSULTANT WHO KNOWS YOU You'll have a dedicated consultant who understands your experience, your preferences and the type of schools you're looking for. WHY THRIVE? We're not interested in treating you like another name on a database. At Thrive Education, we combine real education experience with recruitment expertise to make sure the schools we work with, and the people we place in them, get the right support. If you're a Teaching Assistant who wants flexibility, variety and the opportunity to find the right school, let's have a conversation. Cheltenham could be where your next opportunity starts!
