KS1 Teaching Assistant

Haringey, United Kingdom | Posted on 13/08/2026

There’s something special about KS1: the moment reading starts to click, confidence grows and children begin becoming truly independent learners.

Teach Now is looking for an experienced KS1 Teaching Assistant to join a primary setting in Haringey on a full-time temporary basis from September.

As a KS1 Teaching Assistant
, you’ll work closely with the class teacher to make sure children receive the encouragement, challenge and individual attention they need.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting teaching and learning across KS1.
• Running phonics, early-reading and maths activities.
• Working with individuals and small intervention groups.
• Supporting pupils with SEND where required.
• Helping children develop independence and positive learning habits.
• Preparing resources and maintaining an organised classroom.

The ideal candidate:

You’ll have previous experience working with primary-aged children, ideally within KS1 or EYFS. Knowledge of phonics and early literacy is particularly valuable. A Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant qualification is desirable, although strong relevant school experience is equally important.

£90–£100 per day, full‑time experience from September, meaningful involvement in children’s early development and the opportunity to strengthen your KS1 and SEND experience.
