Are you a high-achieving graduate eager to step into the world of education and gain valuable classroom experience?


A well-regarded and inclusive Primary School in Westminster is looking to appoint a motivated and enthusiastic Primary Teaching Assistant to join their team ASAP on a full-time, long-term basis.
This role is perfectly suited to aspiring teachers who are looking to develop their classroom confidence before progressing onto teacher training. As a Primary Teaching Assistant, you will work closely alongside experienced class teachers, supporting pupils in Year 1, contributing to engaging lessons, and helping to foster a positive and inclusive learning environment.


The successful Primary Teaching Assistant will hold a 2:1 or above degree in any subject and demonstrate a clear passion for pursuing a career in Primary Education. Previous experience working with children — whether in a school setting, tutoring, sports coaching or youth work — will be highly advantageous.
