What can a teaching assistant expect in Wisbech?

Wisbech and the surrounding villages have more than 20 primary schools, from town schools such as Peckover, Elm Road, Townley and Orchards Church of England Academy to village schools in Leverington, Gorefield, Murrow, Elm and Wisbech St Mary. Secondary schools also need TAs to support students in lessons.

Wisbech has a large Eastern European community, so many pupils speak English as an additional language. Teachers who use clear modelling, visuals and plenty of structured talk make a real difference here. TAs who can support early English, reading and phonics are especially valued.

Being local matters in the Fens, where public transport between villages is limited. If you live in or near Wisbech, we can often find you regular work close to home.

Key Responsibilities

• Support pupils' learning in class and in small groups
• Deliver reading, phonics and maths interventions
• Support pupils learning English as an additional language
• Help with classroom organisation and resources
• Support behaviour, wellbeing and inclusion
• Keep pupils safe and follow safeguarding procedures

Who we're looking for

• Experienced teaching assistants (Level 2 or Level 3)
• Parents or volunteers with classroom experience
• Bilingual staff, especially speakers of Eastern European languages
• Graduates looking for school experience before teacher training

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a qualification to be a TA?
A Level 2 or Level 3 TA qualification helps, but schools also value relevant experience with children.

Is speaking another language useful?
Yes. Many Wisbech pupils speak Eastern European languages at home, so bilingual TAs are in demand.

How quickly can I start?
Once your registration and safeguarding checks are complete, many TAs start within days.
