Job description

Russell Group Graduate Teaching Assistant – London
September Start | Earn £27,000 – £32,000 | Elite School Experience

Graduated from a Russell Group university and wondering what’s next?

Thinking about teaching, psychology, or a career working with young people?

Want to get paid to gain world-class school experience before your next big step?

Outstanding schools across London are searching for exceptional Russell Group graduates to join their teams as Graduate Teaching Assistants this September. These highly sought-after roles are designed for ambitious graduates who want to gain invaluable experience in education while working alongside some of the best teachers and school leaders in the country.

Whether your background is in English, Maths, Science, Psychology, Humanities, Languages, or STEM, these schools are looking for academically strong graduates with personality, confidence, and the drive to make a genuine impact.

This is not your average graduate role. You will become a key part of school life — supporting students academically, mentoring young people, leading interventions, and developing the skills needed for future careers in teaching, educational psychology, therapy, or leadership.

Why These Roles Stand Out

• £27,000 – £32,000 salary package

• September start with long-term career progression

• Opportunities in outstanding and high-performing London schools

• Work alongside inspirational teachers and senior leaders

• Incredible experience before PGCE, teacher training, or psychology routes

• Gain hands-on classroom experience from day one

• Fast-track opportunities into salaried teacher training programmes

• Build confidence, leadership, and communication skills

• Make a genuine difference every single day

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting students across KS3–KS5

• Delivering targeted academic interventions

• Working 1:1 with students requiring additional support

• Assisting teachers in high-level classroom delivery

• Mentoring students both academically and pastorally

• Helping raise attainment and student confidence

• Becoming fully immersed in school life and culture

What Schools Are Looking For

• Russell Group graduate with a strong academic background

• 2:1 degree or above preferred

• Confident, articulate, and professional individuals

• Passion for education and working with young people

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Previous tutoring, mentoring, coaching, or youth work experience desirable

• Ambitious graduates considering long-term careers in education

These Graduate Teaching Assistant opportunities offer far more than experience — they offer a genuine launchpad into some of the most rewarding and impactful careers available.
