Retired but still full of energy? - Why not offer up a few days to support the children who need it most and create fond memories?

We are a recruitment agency based in Bristol hiring staff to support students in schools, nurseries, and specialist education settings.I am recruiting specifically for people that can get to all the areas of Bristol, but we also work in the following areas - Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire/Swindon, Somerset and North Somerset, Devon and Dorset. We do not have any roles that we would recommend relocating for at the moment but can hold your CV in case these roles come up as we are continuously growing.

We hire mainly for temporary teaching assistants but due to our good relationships with many schools we also receive requests to fill roles for teachers, SENCOs, HLTAs and Admin staff.

We know recruitment agencies don't always get a good rep, but we promise you we ensure to always prioritise our candidates above profit. We prove this by standing by our pledge to pay a living wage rather than the minimum standard offered by our competitors. Check out our google reviews to see what our clients and candidates think about us.

Many of our placements can also lead to permanent roles if you are open to that, but the decision of day-day or long term is up to you. We even accept candidates that are available a minimum of 2 days per week, so this is a great opportunity for you to earn a little extra.

These roles can be demanding at times but also very rewarding. If you are willing to learn more to suceed in this role, Five education also offer free training courses through the charity Bibic for our staff to learn about; managing behaviour, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia & dysgraphia and understanding sensory processing.
