Primary Teaching Assistant

Location: Lambeth
Job Type: Contract
Reference: 311027338
Salary: £92.50 - £100/day
Job Published: 07 April 2026

Looking for a role where no two days feel the same… or one where you can really settle in and make your mark?

We’ve got both.

We’re working with a brilliant mix of mainstream primary schools across Lambeth, and they’re on the lookout for Teaching Assistants who can step in, support pupils, and bring a calm, positive presence to the classroom, whether that’s for a day, a term, or longer.


What’s on offer?

Daily supply
Perfect if you like variety and flexibility. Choose your days, try different schools, and keep things fresh.

Long-term roles
Fancy something more consistent? We’ve got ongoing placements where you can build relationships, grow your confidence, and become a real part of the school team.


What you’ll be doing

  • Supporting pupils in class, from group work to 1:1 support
  • Helping the teacher keep lessons running smoothly (and calmly!)
  • Encouraging positive behaviour and engagement
  • Being that steady, reassuring presence pupils rely on

You’re the glue that holds it all together, and schools know it.


What we’re looking for

  • Experience working with children, in schools or similar settings
  • A patient, adaptable approach (every day’s a little different)
  • Confidence to get stuck in and support where needed
  • A genuine passion for helping young learners thrive

Why work with Protocol Education?

  • Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella faff
  • Free access to our CPD Academy to build your skills
  • A friendly consultant who actually listens to what you want
  • Local schools that value support staff and welcome you properly
  • Flexible work that fits around your life

Whether you’re after a couple of days a week or something more long-term, we’ll help you find a role that fits, like your favourite seat in the staffroom.
