How We Help Schools Find the Right TA – Fast
When schools need support staff, they usually need them straight away. Whether it is an unexpected absence, a new EHCP requirement, or a staff member simply not turning up, having reliable backup can make the difference between a smooth day and total disruption.
At Classroom Support, we specialise in helping schools secure the right teaching assistant quickly. Here is how we make it happen without cutting corners.
1. A Strong Network of Fully Vetted TAs
We are constantly meeting, screening, and registering high-quality candidates across London, Essex, Kent and the South East. We do not wait for a vacancy to come in before recruiting.
Every TA is:
Interviewed by a specialist education recruiter
Fully referenced and DBS-checked
Matched based on experience, SEN background, and school type
Briefed on safeguarding and professional conduct
"Our compliance process is thorough, so when a booking comes in, we are ready to go."
2. We Understand Each School's Needs
Because we speak to hundreds of schools every week, we get to know your environment, your pupils, and your expectations. That means when we send someone in, it is not just a temporary fix. It is someone who will add real value to your setting.
We consider:
Class size and age group
SEN provision (such as autism, SEMH, PMLD, SLD or PRU)
The type of personality that fits your team
Your school’s values and ways of working
"We do not just look at experience. We match based on attitude, energy, and long-term suitability too."
3. Fast Communication That Saves You Time
When you contact us, you speak to someone who understands your school and gets to work straight away. We will not send over piles of irrelevant CVs or take up your time with vague promises.
You get:
A named consultant who manages all your bookings
Clear candidate profiles including SEN experience and availability
Transparent rates with no hidden fees
Fast responses, even before the school day starts
