Job Description
This role is ideal if you’re driven by equity and want to support pupils who face barriers to learning. As a Pupil Premium Support Assistant, you’ll work across KS1 and KS2 cohorts to boost confidence, engagement, and progress among pupils who qualify for additional funding. Based in a Birmingham South primary school, you’ll deliver structured interventions in literacy, numeracy, and emotional regulation, working closely with class teachers and the Pupil Premium Lead. This isn’t a “float around” job—your work will directly impact attainment, attendance, and readiness to learn. You’ll help small groups develop strategies for learning and independence, and you’ll support individual pupils who need reassurance, challenge, or extra scaffolding. With behaviour training and intervention tools provided, you’ll gain hands-on experience that builds a strong pathway into education psychology, teaching, mentoring, or inclusion leadership roles.

Deliver small-group and 1:1 interventions in core subjects
Support attendance, engagement, and classroom transitions
Track progress and liaise with teaching staff
Implement emotional regulation strategies
Assist with planning and preparation of tailored resources
Provide feedback on pupil achievement and needs

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…

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.
