EYFS/KS1 Teaching Assistant - Coventry Full-time, Long-term - ASAP Start - Possibility of Permanent Some roles are just jobs. Others let you watch a child find their feet, settle into a routine, and start to trust the people around them. This is one of those roles. A friendly mainstream school in Coventry is looking for a full-time EYFS/KS1 Teaching Assistant to join their team as soon as possible. The role's long-term, with a genuine possibility of becoming permanent from September. If you're looking for consistency, a settled team, and work that means something by the end of the day, this is worth reading. The Role As an EYFS/KS1 Teaching Assistant, you'll primarily be based in a Year 1/Year 2 classroom, with some flexibility to support EYFS classes when needed. Your day will typically run 8:45am to 3:10pm, Monday to Friday. Your responsibilities will include: Supporting the class teacher with day-to-day learning activities across EYFS and KS1 year groups. Working 1:1 with individual pupils and with small groups, adapting your approach to what each child needs. Helping create a calm, predictable classroom environment where children feel safe to learn. Observing and responding to pupil needs, feeding back to the class teacher as part of a collaborative team. Covering a 1-hour midday supervisory (MDS) duty, with a 30-minute lunch break included. Being a consistent, trusted presence for pupils across the school day - in and out of the classroom. Contributing to a school culture built on inclusion and genuine care for every child. What We're Looking For You don't need years of experience to be right for this role, but you do need the right attitude and a genuine interest in working with young children. We're looking for someone who: Has experience supporting pupils in a primary or EYFS setting (6 months or more is helpful). Has some experience supporting children with additional needs - autism, ADHD, or speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in particular would be valuable in this setting. Holds an EYFS qualification, or is working towards one - it's desirable, not essential. Is patient, calm, and able to build warm relationships with young children. Understands that early years support is about nurture as much as learning. Is reliable and committed to a full-time, long-term placement - this school needs consistency. Works well collaboratively and takes direction from the class teacher with a positive attitude. Is interested in a permanent role from September if the placement goes well. What's on Offer A supportive, welcoming school with a genuine inclusion ethos. The chance to build real relationships with pupils and become a trusted part of the team. Up to 100 per day, depending on relevant experience. Why Sprint? If you're looking to work as a teacher in a mainstream classroom, providing day-to-day supply cover, we're probably not the agency for you. But if you're passionate about supporting students with additional needs and want a long-term role where you can build consistency and see the impact of your work every day, that's exactly what we do.
