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.

Teaching Assistants usually perform many of the following tasks:
• Encouraging children to play together.
• Listening to pupils.
• Caring children in case of accidents.
• Teaming up with other professionals.
• Helping children with educational needs.
