Level 3 Teaching Assistant job summary

Level 3 Teaching Assistant

📍 Somewhere full of laughter, learning, and the occasional glitter explosion…

🎯 Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):

• 🧠 Spot brilliance - every child has it, and you’ll help them shine

You Might Be Perfect If You:

• Are calm in chaos (aka wet playtime energy management)
• Believe stickers are a valid form of currency
• Can switch from phonics to playground duty in 0.3 seconds

What’s In It For You?

• A job where no two days are ever the same
• A chance to make a real difference (yes, really)
• Plenty of laughs, smiles, and “you helped me!” moments
• Tea. So much tea. ☕
• The occasional glitter incident (it’s basically a rite of passage)

In Our Classroom You'll Hear:

• “Miss/Sir, I did it!”
• “Can you help me?” (A lot. But in a good way.)
• “This is my favourite lesson!”
