Job description

Graduate Maths Teaching Assistant

Are you a high-achieving Maths graduate looking for a role that puts your academic ability to genuine use?

Could you inspire students to master challenging mathematical concepts and achieve top GCSE and A-Level grades?

Considering teaching but want a full year of exceptional classroom experience before committing to teacher training?

KPI Education is searching for an exceptional Graduate Maths Teaching Assistant to join a high-performing, academically ambitious secondary school and sixth form in Islington.

This isn't a position for someone who simply wants to observe from the back of the classroom. The school wants a talented Mathematics graduate who can become an academic role model, challenge its highest-achieving students and provide targeted support to pupils who need additional confidence.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Full-time position throughout the 2026/27 academic year
• Work predominantly within a successful Mathematics department
• Support students across KS3, GCSE and A-Level
• Deliver high-impact 1:1 and small-group Maths interventions
• Stretch pupils targeting Grades 8 and 9 at GCSE
• Work alongside experienced Maths teachers and department leaders
• Gain exposure to lesson planning, assessment and curriculum delivery
• Develop your classroom management and teaching skills
• Contribute to Maths enrichment, competitions and revision programmes
• Potential to progress into teacher training from September 2027

An Ambitious Islington School

Located in Islington, North London, this large secondary school has built a culture around high expectations, academic ambition and creating opportunities for young people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

The Mathematics department is particularly important to the school's academic strategy. Pupils are encouraged to see Maths as more than simply passing examinations, developing the logical reasoning, analytical thinking and problem-solving skills required for university and future careers.

You'll join a collaborative department where experienced teachers are keen to mentor talented graduates considering the profession.

What Will You Actually Do?

One morning could see you supporting a challenging Year 11 algebra lesson before delivering a targeted intervention to pupils approaching their GCSE examinations. Later, you might work individually with a student struggling with mathematical confidence or stretch high-achieving pupils with more advanced problems.

Your responsibilities could include:

• Supporting Maths lessons across multiple year groups
• Delivering targeted GCSE interventions
• Supporting examination preparation and revision
• Creating extension resources for high-achieving students
• Identifying and addressing gaps in mathematical understanding
• Supporting sixth-form students with advanced content
• Gradually delivering sections of lessons under teacher supervision

Are You the Maths Graduate We're Looking For?

A First-Class or 2:1 degree in Mathematics or a closely related numerical discipline is highly desirable. Strong A-Level Mathematics results, excellent communication skills and genuine enthusiasm for your subject will also be important.

Previous classroom experience is not essential. The school is looking for raw potential, academic strength, reliability and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly.

For an aspiring Maths teacher, this could provide the perfect bridge between university and teacher training.
