EYFS - Learning Support Assistant

Learning Support Assistant 
Location: Havering
Pay: £85–£95 per day (PAYE)
Contract: Full-time | Temp-to-perm | Start date: ASAP

“I just want to be in a school where people see what I do. Where I don’t go home feeling invisible.”
If that feels familiar, you're not alone. We speak with TAs every day who feel stretched, undervalued, and tired of being seen as ‘extra help’ instead of essential professionals.

But not all schools are like that.

This Havering-based primary is a rare kind of place. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2023, it’s built on the belief that children flourish when the adults around them do too. The Early Years team here is tight-knit, experienced, and warm. They know that early childhood education is not just a job, it’s a calling. And they want someone who shares that belief.

They’re not looking for perfection. They’re looking for presence and passion. 

Maybe you’ve supported children in schools before. Maybe you’ve helped a child or loved one through a diagnosis, dysregulation, or a moment of feeling completely misunderstood. Maybe you know what it means to be the calm in the storm.

That’s what they value here.

You’ll be working alongside an EYFS teacher who sees you as a partner, not an assistant. You’ll have access to regular training, but even more importantly—you’ll be part of a team that talks, reflects, and cares. The leadership here doesn’t just talk about wellbeing. They build it into how the school works. Staff are trusted. Voices are heard. Ideas are welcomed.

You won’t be left on your own with impossible expectations. You’ll have support, structure, and space to learn.

This is a temp-to-perm role—not just to fill a gap, but to give you a real chance to see if the school feels right. And if it does, you’ll be welcomed long-term.

If you’ve been waiting for the right setting to give your all—where you’ll be supported to do it—this could be that place.
