About the Position
Read on to find out what you will need to succeed in this position, including skills, qualifications, and experience.
£95–£105 per day PAYE | Full-time | Immediate September Start | Potential Full Academic Year
About the Vacancies
Rising Hope Education has received two urgent Teaching Assistant vacancies with one of our primary school clients in Barking & Dagenham, following some last-minute staffing changes on 29 August.
The school's immediate requirement is initially expected to be 4–6 weeks, while they work through their longer-term staffing arrangements. However, for the right candidates, there is absolutely the opportunity for these positions to continue on a full-time basis for the remainder of the academic year.
We're therefore treating these as long-term opportunities and are particularly interested in candidates who would be happy to become part of the school team and commit for the academic year if offered the opportunity.
Role 1 - General Teaching Assistant / RWI Phonics
We're looking for a confident General Teaching Assistant with good primary-school experience and a working knowledge of Read Write Inc. (RWI) Phonics.
- Responsibilities:
- Support learning across the classroom.
- Work with individual pupils and small groups.
- Provide targeted phonics support where required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Previous experience delivering or supporting RWI Phonics would be particularly valuable.
Role 2 - Pastoral & Behaviour Support Teaching Assistant
We're also recruiting somebody for a more pastoral and behaviour-focused position.
- Responsibilities:
- Support children who are struggling within the classroom.
- Provide support in class or work with a child away from the classroom to help them regulate, reflect on what has happened, and successfully return to learning.
- One younger pupil currently requires a significant proportion of this support, although incidents are generally low-level rather than significantly challenging.
Requirements:
- Be calm, confident, and emotionally intelligent.
- Build strong relationships while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
- Have good basic computer skills to log incidents.
- Be confident communicating with parents both face-to-face and over the telephone.
Immediate Availability
These vacancies have arisen at extremely short notice, so for an immediate start you will need an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS already registered on the Update Service.
Ideally, we'd like suitable candidates to be available for a Microsoft Teams interview on Monday 31 August and potentially start Tuesday 1 September.
