Job Description
We are seeking a dedicated and proactive Teaching Assistant to join a supportive primary school environment in the heart of Wimbledon SW19. This immediate-start role is perfect for someone passionate about fostering a positive and engaging learning atmosphere for young children. As a key member of the classroom team, you will work under the guidance of the class teacher to provide tailored support that enhances pupil progress, wellbeing, and inclusion. Workers Direct specialises in placing education professionals into schools that value their contribution, offering a streamlined path to meaningful work without the lengthy application processes often associated with direct school applications.
This position with Workers Direct offers more than just a job; it's a career opportunity within the Wimbledon education community. You will gain valuable experience in a dynamic setting, with the potential for the role to become a long-term temp-to-perm position for the right candidate. We understand the local SW19 market, from its outstanding schools to its specific staffing needs, ensuring we match you with a placement where your skills will be valued and your professional development encouraged. By applying through our agency, you benefit from our established relationships with schools, our handling of all paperwork, and our commitment to finding you a role that fits your skills and aspirations.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide one-to-one and small group support to pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), to reinforce learning objectives set by the teacher.
- Assist with the preparation and organisation of classroom resources, learning materials, and displays to create an engaging and stimulating environment.
- Support the class teacher in managing pupil behaviour in line with the school's policy, promoting positive interactions and a respectful classroom culture.
- Help supervise pupils during break times, lunchtimes, and on educational outings, ensuring their safety and wellbeing at all times.
- Contribute to observations and record-keeping, providing feedback to the teacher on pupil progress, engagement, and any concerns.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Teaching Assistant, Cover Supervisor, or in a similar child-focused support role within a school setting.
- A genuine passion for education and child development, with a patient, empathetic, and resilient approach.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build effective relationships with children, teachers, and parents.
- A relevant qualification (e.g., CACHE Level 2/3, NVQ, or equivalent) is desirable, but proven experience is highly valued.
Salary & Benefits
Workers Direct offers a competitive pay rate for this Teaching Assistant role, which is paid on a weekly basis. The exact rate is dependent on your specific qualifications, prior experience within a school environment, and the exact requirements of the Wimbledon SW19 placement. We believe in fair and transparent remuneration for the vital work our TAs do. In addition to your pay, you will enjoy the significant benefits that come with being a Workers Direct candidate, designed to provide stability and support as you build your career in education.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start after applying for this Teaching Assistant role?
We are recruiting for an immediate start. If you have an up-to-date CV and can complete our quick registration and compliance checks (including references and a DBS), you could be starting in a Wimbledon SW19 school within a matter of days. The speed often depends on your readiness and the specific school's timeline, but we prioritise fast-tracking candidates for urgent vacancies.
Do I need a DBS check to apply?
Yes, a valid Enhanced DBS certificate registered on the Update Service is highly desirable for any school-based role. If you do not have one, don't let this stop you from applying. Workers Direct can often assist successful candidates in obtaining a new DBS check, though this may slightly delay your start date. We will advise you on the best and fastest route during our initial conversation.
What is the difference between a temporary and a temp-to-perm role?
A temporary role has a fixed end date or is ongoing but with no direct promise of permanent employment with the school. A temp-to-perm (or temp-perm) role is initially temporary but with a clear view from both the school and the agency that if you perform well and are a good fit, you will be offered a permanent contract directly by the school after a trial period. Many of our Wimbledon placements have excellent temp-to-perm potential.
Can I get work as a Teaching Assistant if I have no formal qualifications?
While qualifications like a CACHE or NVQ are advantageous, many schools in the SW19 area value relevant experience and personal attributes just as highly. If you have experience volunteering in schools, working with children in other capacities (e.g., sports coaching, youth work), or are a graduate looking to get into teaching, we can still help you find a supportive entry-level TA role. Your dedication and attitude are key.
Does Workers Direct offer roles outside of education in the Wimbledon area?
Absolutely. While this page focuses on Teaching Assistant vacancies, Workers Direct is a multi-sector agency. We frequently recruit for Administrative Assistant positions in local businesses, as well as roles in hospitality, warehousing, and driving. For instance, we have extensive experience placing Delivery Driver professionals and office support staff across London. Registering with us opens doors to a wide variety of immediate-start opportunities.
What support will I get from my dedicated consultant?
Your consultant is your single point of contact. They will match you to suitable roles, prepare you for interviews, liaise with the school on your behalf, and ensure you have all the details for your first day. They also handle your timesheets and pay queries, acting as your advocate. This level of personalised support is a cornerstone of our service, whether you're a Teaching Assistant in Wimbledon or an Administrative Assistant in another borough.
