What Teaching Assistant job ads ask for
These terms come up again and again in postings for this role. Recruiters query the database for them literally, so the exact wording matters more than the phrasing around it.
- Level 3 Teaching Assistant
- Enhanced DBS
- SEND
- EHCP
- phonics
- Key Stage 1
- behaviour support
- intervention groups
- safeguarding
- 1:1 support
What goes wrong in this role specifically
- State your Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification explicitly. Schools filter on the level.
- Enhanced DBS status belongs near the top — it is the first thing a school office checks.
- If you have 1:1 experience with an EHCP pupil, say so plainly. It is a distinct role and a distinct search.

Questions
Will an ATS read my Teaching Assistant CV?
It depends entirely on how the file is built, not on how good you are. Tables, two-column layouts, text boxes and contact details inside headers or icons are the usual reasons information goes missing. Upload yours above and you will see exactly what survives.
Which certifications belong on a Teaching Assistant CV?
Level 3 Teaching Assistant, Enhanced DBS, SEND and similar credentials belong in the body text, on their own lines, written out in full the first time. Recruiters search the database for the exact abbreviation.
Should I send a PDF or a Word file?
DOCX is read more reliably across systems. If the posting asks for PDF, export it from a single-column document rather than from a design tool.
