Job Description
A supportive Coventry primary is seeking a Primary Learning Partner to provide high-quality classroom support and targeted intervention. You’ll work closely with class teachers to make lessons accessible, boost confidence in literacy and numeracy, and encourage pupils to take pride in their progress. The role blends practical help, positive routines, and warm encouragement: guiding small groups through structured tasks, modelling calm problem-solving, and celebrating each step forward. You’ll contribute ideas for engaging activities, help prepare resources, and keep the classroom organised and inviting. It’s a varied position with real purpose — ideal for someone who enjoys seeing their impact daily. You’ll have access to mentoring and CPD, with opportunities to develop specialisms such as phonics, reading fluency, or SEND support as you grow in the role.
Job Responsibilities:
Deliver focused small-group and 1:1 interventions in reading, writing, and maths.
Support whole-class learning, reinforcing instructions and modelling strategies.
Prepare resources, maintain displays, and contribute to smooth lesson transitions.
Track mini-milestones and share timely feedback with the teacher and SENCo.
Desired Experience
+ Qualifications
Level 2 qualification (or strong equivalent experience in a UK primary).
Clear, encouraging communication with pupils and adults.
Calm, proactive approach with genuine enthusiasm for learning.
Willingness to learn school systems (phonics schemes, assessment tools).

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?

How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
