A warm and community-focused Lambeth primary school near Herne Hill Station is looking for a committed Teaching Assistant to join their KS1 team in January, with trials taking place immediately.

As a Teaching Assistant
, you will support a Year 1 class through a mix of whole-class help, phonics sessions, small-group intervention work, and occasional one-to-one support for pupils who need an extra boost with early reading and writing.

• Has experience in KS1 or working with early literacy

• Is proactive and comfortable following clear routines
• Brings enthusiasm and a calm, warm presence to the classroom

Graduates (Education, Psychology, English, Early Childhood Studies) are especially encouraged to apply, though strong school-based experience is equally valued.

• Supportive KS1 phase team and daily mentoring
• Opportunities to lead phonics groups once trained
• A welcoming, nurturing school culture with strong behaviour systems
• Modern resources and access to CPD focused on early literacy

If you are a caring, motivated Teaching Assistant ready to make a meaningful difference in a Lambeth primary school this January, apply now to secure your trial.
