Level 2 Teaching Assistant (TA2) - Fixed Term Contract (EHCP funded 1:1 support)
We will review the contract in 12 months’ time and would hope to extend this, subject to sufficient EHCP funding.
25 hours 25 mins per week/Monday-Friday)
About The Role
We are seeking to appoint a compassionate, patient, and dedicated Level 2 Teaching Assistant to join our staffing team at Finstall First School, primarily to work in KS1. The majority of the role will be to provide focused 1:1 support for a pupil with Cognition and Learning needs and an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The successful candidate will be able to build a positive, trusting relationship with the child while working collaboratively with parents/carers, school staff, and other relevant professionals.
This is a specialist 1:1 position, supporting the child to engage fully with teaching and learning, participate in all aspects of school life, and develop increasing independence.
The role is term-time only and involves working 25 hr 25min per week, including attendance on specified INSET days. We are committed to supporting flexible working arrangements and welcome discussions about alternative working patterns where these can meet the needs of both the child and the school. (Our initial proposal is either 8.45am – 2.45pm, 9.20pm – 3.20pm or a mixture of these times over the working week.)

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

This is a fixed-term post that is linked to the provision of additional support required under a pupil's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), together with the corresponding funding allocated to the school.
The role has been created specifically to provide dedicated 1:1 support for an individual pupil and will remain in place for as long as this EHCP-funded provision is required. The contract will therefore end when the need for this additional support no longer exists, such as if the pupil leaves the school, the EHCP is reviewed and amended resulting in reduced support requirements, or the associated funding is withdrawn.
