Supply Teaching Assistants – Stockport and Surrounding Areas

Teach is currently recruiting enthusiastic, caring and experienced Teaching Assistants to work on a supply basis across Stockport and the surrounding areas.

If you're passionate about supporting children and young people and want the flexibility to choose when and where you work, we'd love to hear from you.

We work with a wide range of schools, offering opportunities across mainstream primary and secondary schools, specialist provisions and SEND settings.

As a Supply Teaching Assistant, your role will vary depending on the school and the needs of the pupils. You may:

Support pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups
