We work closely with exciting, vibrant primary schools across Bristol who are looking for enthusiastic classroom support staff to help children feel confident, included, and ready to learn.
Many of our pupils speak English as an additional language (EAL), so if you happen to speak another language, that’s a lovely bonus—but not essential. Your main role will be supporting learning in lessons, helping children settle into school life, and contributing to a positive, structured classroom environment, beginning after Easter holidays.
This is a rewarding opportunity for anyone who enjoys working with young learners, believes in inclusion, and wants to make a meaningful difference in school every day.
