Are you looking to start a career in Education?

Do you want a rewarding career where you can be instrumental in making a difference to children’s lives?

Have you got experience within the Health and Social/Care Sector or have a TA qualification but no school experience?

Become a Trainee Teaching Assistant! No previous experience or qualifications necessary, just a love for helping others!

Vision For Education is excited to provide this bespoke and incredible opportunity to support passionate people in getting into the education sector. We work alongside our client schools to provide successful Trainee Teaching Assistants with high-quality training and paid on-the-job experience.

Following a successful interview and pending suitability, safeguarding, and identity checks, we will work to secure you a paid placement in a school within the Bournemouth area to further develop your skills. We will help you develop your identity as an educator and help you choose your specialist area from EYFS, KS1, KS2, KS3, and KS4. Prior to starting your placement, you will be required to complete a comprehensive training programme delivered by Vision for Education and school leaders, which will give you the essential skills you need to work as a Teaching Assistant.

Teaching Assistants are instrumental in ensuring the smooth running of any school. The most effective Teaching Assistants have excellent communication skills and a passion for supporting the day-to-day needs of all children. They are also able to build relationships with both staff, children, and their families.

The role of a teaching assistant varies from school to school. You may be working to support the teacher during class teaching, running small group interventions to support children, or working on a 1:1 basis to ensure the needs of all children are met and that they can thrive.

• Be kind, caring, and compassionate
