Job Description
As a Primary Resilience Support Assistant, you will help Key Stage 2 pupils develop coping strategies, learning confidence, and emotional steadiness throughout their school day. You will be a key source of support for children who find certain subjects, social settings, or classroom routines more challenging.
Working closely with the class teacher and the pastoral team, you will provide one-to-one reassurance, small-group learning support, and practical guidance that helps pupils feel secure and capable. You will help children manage transitions, identify emotions, stay focused during independent tasks, and break down learning into achievable steps. Pupils may be experiencing low confidence, mild anxiety, attention difficulties, or emerging SEND needs.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys celebrating small wins, guiding pupils through tricky moments, and helping them discover that they can handle far more than they realised.

Lead small-group interventions for reading, writing, or maths.
Help pupils manage transitions and maintain positive routines.
Use visual supports and modelling to strengthen understanding.

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…
We’re an education platform service who partner with schools and MATs to support their recruitment, training and wellbeing needs. It’s in our interest to secure you a role you’ll love, in a setting you’ll want to stay in, with a view to progressing your career. If that’s what you want!
Our HR and Safeguarding team consistently go the extra mile to complete your checks as quickly as possible - at no cost to you. To put so much hard work and valuable time into completing these checks and then NOT deliver the opportunities you are looking for…? Well, we’d go out of business pretty quickly!
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!
All roles are paid in line with Teachers Pay and Conditions, or are matched with each school’s salary guidelines for the role you undertake. We'll always negotiate the best possible pay rates that reflect your hard work, experience and qualifications.
