About the Role:
Connex Education is recruiting dedicated and compassionate Inclusion Teaching Assistants to support pupils within mainstream primary schools across Taunton and the surrounding areas, from September 2026.
We are looking for individuals interested in a mixture of flexible day‑to‑day supply work, short‑term placements, and long‑term opportunities, supporting children with a range of additional learning needs within inclusive and nurturing classroom environments.
As an Inclusion Teaching Assistant, you will work alongside class teachers, SENCOs and wider school staff to help ensure that all pupils can fully access their education.

This is a highly rewarding opportunity for someone passionate about inclusive education and making a genuine difference to children’s confidence, wellbeing and educational outcomes.

Assist with personal care where required, following appropriate training and school guidance
Promote a safe, welcoming and inclusive learning environment for all pupils
Monitor and communicate pupils’ progress and any concerns to the appropriate school staff
What We’re Looking For:

Experience in schools, childcare, youth work, care or support work is advantageous
A patient, caring, resilient and inclusive approach
Strong communication and teamwork skills
A genuine passion for supporting children to overcome barriers to learning
The ability to build positive relationships with pupils and staff
