Year 3 Teaching Assistant – Gateshead
We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Year 3 Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming and supportive primary school in Gateshead from September 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity for a committed practitioner who is passionate about supporting children’s learning and development during a key stage of their primary education.
The school is a well-regarded primary setting with a strong reputation for providing a nurturing and inclusive learning environment. Staff are committed to ensuring that every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to achieve their full potential. The school places a strong emphasis on developing pupils' confidence, resilience, and independence, while maintaining high expectations for both academic achievement and personal development.
As a Year 3 Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with the class teacher and wider support staff to provide high-quality classroom support, helping pupils to access learning and make strong progress across the curriculum.
This position will commence in September 2026 and initially run until October half term, with the potential to continue on an ongoing basis thereafter for the right candidate.
Key Responsibilities

- Monitor pupil progress and provide feedback to the class teacher where appropriate.
- Work collaboratively with teaching staff, parents, and other professionals to support pupil outcomes.
- Ensure safeguarding procedures and school policies are followed at all times.
