Summary
Graduate Teaching Assistant
Ready to specialise in Year 6 support and see rapid progress?
Help pupils tighten core knowledge and sharpen exam craft ahead of SATs.
*** Graduate Teaching Assistant
*** Immediate start until July 2026
*** £90 - £105 per day
*** ‘Good’ primary school, Ward of Selly Oak
*** 1:1 and small group intervention support across Yr6
What you’ll do:
Run short, well-structured intervention blocks in reading, writing and maths. Pre-teach upcoming content, revisit sticky knowledge with retrieval practice, and model answer planning and timing. Provide 1:1 catch-up, guide small groups, set up lean resources, and capture crisp notes so next steps are clear for the class teacher.
Who you are:
A graduate who explains ideas cleanly, keeps sessions purposeful, and notices misconceptions early. You’re organised, responsive to feedback, and steady under time pressure.
Requirements
- Degree – A 2:2 or above in a creative subject.
- Communication – Clear, confident written and verbal skills.
- Enhanced DBS – Held already or willingness to obtain.
- Desire to work in education/with children – Strong interest in KS2 progress and fair access.
- Experience working with children – Any relevant experience (tutoring, mentoring, volunteering) is desirable but not essential.
The School:
This ‘Good’ Selly Oak primary is two-form entry with calm, predictable routines and a clear focus on outcomes for Year 6. Reading is prioritised through daily guided reading and vocabulary work; maths is sequenced in small steps with frequent retrieval and consistent methods across classes. Year teams co-plan and share model texts, worked examples and past-paper item banks, so intervention dovetails with whole-class teaching. You’ll receive a structured induction, access to ready-made intervention packs, weekly bite-size CPD and coaching drop-ins with precise, usable targets—giving you the conditions to show impact quickly and build a strong portfolio for initial teacher training.
How to Apply
Send your CV, noting your availability and DBS status (include two referees if possible). Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a brief phone screen and an in-school observation. Early applications are encouraged, as the school may appoint before the closing date.
Due to the volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
