These rewarding and varied full-time teaching assistant roles will start in May 2025 (with the possibility of continuing into the new academic year in September).

• You should hold either a relevant teaching assistant qualification (such as a CACHE Level 3) or a university degree (although this does not necessarily need to relate to childcare). Roles for university graduates and Level 3 qualified teaching assistants are available in both primary and secondary settings in Islington.

• Teaching assistant roles in Islington schools would particularly suit individuals who are keen to undertake teacher training in the future, such as a PGCE or Teach First, looking for teaching assistant experience over the next academic year.
