Our partner schools are looking for enthusiastic graduates who are keen to gain valuable experience working with young people and develop their skills within a secondary school environment.

Whether your long-term ambition is to become a teacher, work within education, pursue a career in psychology or youth work, or simply gain meaningful experience working with young people, these opportunities could be an excellent first step.

Why Consider a Graduate Education Role?

Working as a Teaching Assistant provides graduates with the opportunity to gain genuine, hands-on experience inside a secondary school.

You could gain experience in:

• Supporting pupils across KS3 and KS4
• Working alongside experienced classroom teachers
• Supporting pupils with additional learning needs
• Developing communication and mentoring skills
• Building positive relationships with young people
• Supporting individual pupils and small groups
• Understanding classroom management and behaviour strategies
• Developing an understanding of the secondary education system
• Gaining valuable experience before applying for teacher training

For graduates considering a future career in teaching, these roles can provide an excellent opportunity to experience life in a classroom before committing to teacher training.

What Are We Looking For?

You do not necessarily need previous Teaching Assistant experience to be considered.

We are particularly interested in graduates who are:

• Passionate about working with young people
• Enthusiastic and approachable
• Patient and supportive
• Confident communicating with pupils and staff
• Reliable and professional
• Keen to develop their skills within education
• Interested in supporting pupils to achieve their potential
• Able to build positive relationships with young people

Degrees in Education, Psychology, Sports, English, Maths, Science, Social Sciences and related subjects can be particularly relevant, but we welcome graduates from a wide range of academic backgrounds.

We'd also be interested in graduates with experience through coaching, mentoring, tutoring, youth work, volunteering or other activities involving young people.

What Could Your Role Involve?

Depending on the school and position, you could be supporting pupils in the classroom, working one-to-one with individual students, providing small-group intervention or assisting pupils with additional learning needs.

You may work alongside classroom teachers, pastoral teams and SEN staff, giving you a valuable insight into the different roles involved in supporting young people within a secondary school.
