Full job descriptionGeneral Teaching Assistant – Leeds (Full Time)
In every classroom, there’s someone who quietly keeps things moving — supporting the teacher, helping children stay engaged, and making sure no one gets left behind. This could be that role for you.
We’re working with a number of welcoming primary schools across Leeds who are looking for a General Teaching Assistant to join their teams full-time.
It’s a varied role, and no two days are quite the same. You might be working one-to-one with a child who needs a bit of extra support, helping small groups with learning, or simply being that steady presence in the classroom that teachers rely on throughout the day.
More than anything, schools are looking for someone who’s willing to get involved, support where needed, and build genuine relationships with children and staff.
We’re looking for someone who:
*Has experience working with children in some capacity
*Is reliable, calm and easy to work with
*Is happy to be flexible and support across the classroom
*Builds trust naturally with pupils and staff
*Cares about helping children feel confident and included
What you can expect from Protocol Education:
We take time to get to know you, not just your experience, but what kind of environment you’ll thrive in. You’ll have a dedicated consultant who supports you throughout, checks in regularly, and helps you find a setting that feels right for you.
You’ll also have access to ongoing CPD and training, giving you space to grow your skills and confidence, whether that’s behaviour support, SEN, or wider classroom practice.
*Competitive daily pay (£93-£110)
*Weekly PAYE pay
*Ongoing support from your consultant
*Free CPD and training opportunities
*Roles in supportive and welcoming primary schools
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real difference in a steady, meaningful way, we’d really like to hear from you.
