Are you passionate about inspiring young people through sport and education?
The Supply Room is currently recruiting energetic and motivated Teaching Assistants with sports coaching backgrounds to join our client schools across BCP.
This is an exciting opportunity for individuals with experience or qualifications in Childcare, Education or Sports Coaching who are looking to build a long-term career in the education sector.
Our schools cater for pupils aged 4–11, 11–16, or 3–19, offering a variety of settings including mainstream primary, secondary, and specialist provisions.
For candidates who demonstrate strong commitment and skill, there are clear progression routes into permanent employment within the school.
As a Teaching Assistant, you will take an active role in supporting students both inside and outside the classroom.
You’ll work closely with teachers to deliver engaging lessons, help manage classroom behaviour, and provide one-to-one or small-group support where needed.
You’ll also be involved in planning and delivering physical education sessions, lunchtime or after-school sports activities, and mentoring students to help them build teamwork, confidence, and resilience through sport.
A significant part of your role may also involve working with pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), providing patient and tailored support to help every child reach their full potential.
This position is ideal for semi-professional or former professional athletes, sports graduates, or qualified coaches who are eager to inspire the next generation.
The ideal candidate will be reliable, enthusiastic, and dedicated to supporting young people of all abilities.
A passion for sport and a genuine desire to make a lasting impact in education are essential.
This full-time role (Monday to Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm) offers the perfect opportunity to gain valuable classroom experience, develop your teaching skills, and progress toward a rewarding career in education.
If you’re ready to use your sporting background to motivate, mentor, and support young learners, apply today to join The Supply Room and begin your journey as a Teaching Assistant in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole!
