Graduates Teaching Assistants - SEN/Mainstream
New Yesterday
We’re working with a welcoming mainstream secondary school looking for a Graduate Teaching Assistant to join their team full-time. You’ll be supporting pupils both 1:1 and in small groups, helping them stay engaged, confident, and on track with their learning.
Some students may have Special Educational Needs (SEN), so any experience supporting SEN, whether in school, volunteering, coaching, or care work, would be a big plus.
What the role looks like
Your days will be varied, busy, and genuinely rewarding. You’ll be:
Supporting students 1:1 and in small groups
Helping pupils with SEN access learning in the classroom
Encouraging confidence, focus, and positive behaviour
Working closely with teachers and SEN staff to support pupil progress
Being a positive role model in and around the school
The school is looking for someone who:
Has a degree (any subject)
Is confident, calm, and patient
Enjoys working with young people
Is proactive and motivated
Brings energy to the role, hobbies like sport, fitness, or coaching are a big bonus
Ideally has some experience supporting SEN, but a genuine interest goes a long way
Why this role is a great step for graduates
If you’re thinking about teaching, psychology, youth work, or educational support, this role gives you real hands-on experience in a school environment.
You’ll also benefit from:
School hours that fit around your lifestyle
School holidays off
The chance to build experience in education and SEN support
A role where you’ll genuinely see the impact you make each day
It’s one of those jobs where the small wins, a student understanding something new, gaining confidence, or simply having a better day, make it all worthwhile.
If you're looking for a meaningful role that helps shape young lives while building your own experience, this could be the perfect start.
