Hi all, I want to start as a classroom assistant trainee and I’d like to know what are the normal daily activities about this particular job.

Hi, Someone knows if working hours and conditions in Brentford School For Girls are ok? Could anyone tell me about his own experience in this college?

Teaching Assistants are required to support teachers in schools. They may work with a whole class, small groups or just individual children. These assistants help pupils with physical impairments, learning difficulties, and students that do not have English as a first language. They may work as special needs assistants by accompanying a student around the school, helping them to carry bags and take notes in classes.

• Encouraging children to play together.
• Listening to pupils.
• Caring children in case of accidents.
• Teaming up with other professionals.
• Helping children with educational needs.

• Being well organised.
• Being responsible.
• Having lots of energy.
• Being able to work with a team.
