Summary
Graduate Primary Teaching Assistant
Location: South London Primary School
Role: Full-Time | Monday–Friday | Term Time Only
Salary: Up to £450 per week
Interviewing: Immediately
Are you a graduate who believes every child deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their background?
Do you want to be the steady, inspiring role model that bright young learners need to truly thrive?
We are recruiting Graduate Primary Teaching Assistants to work in supportive South London primary schools, many serving diverse and underrepresented communities. These are full-time, long-term roles ideal for graduates who are passionate about social mobility and making a genuine difference.
The Opportunity – Graduate Primary Teaching Assistant
In this role, you’ll work within EYFS, KS1 or KS2, supporting pupils who are full of potential and curiosity. Many of the children you’ll work with benefit enormously from strong academic guidance, encouragement and positive role models.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Providing targeted 1:1 and small group support
• Helping pupils overcome learning barriers
• Encouraging confidence, resilience and independence
• Supporting literacy and numeracy development
• Promoting an inclusive and nurturing classroom culture
You will work closely with experienced teachers and pastoral teams, gaining invaluable insight into supporting children from a wide range of backgrounds.
Why This Role Stands Out
• Earn up to £450 per week
• Full-time, consistent experience in one school setting
• Direct impact on pupils who truly benefit from strong mentorship
• Ideal preparation for PGCE, Schools Direct, Educational Psychology or youth-focused careers
• Ongoing CPD and professional guidance
• Excellent transport links across London and surrounding boroughs (Croydon, Bromley, Lambeth)
Who We’re Looking For
• A graduate in any subject (Education, Psychology and related fields are helpful but not essential)
• Passionate about supporting underprivileged or underrepresented children
• Resilient, empathetic and emotionally intelligent
• Confident communicator who can build trust with young learners
• Proactive and committed to long-term impact
• Right to work in the UK
This is more than classroom experience — it’s an opportunity to be the positive influence that helps shape a child’s future.
If you’re motivated by purpose and want to make a meaningful difference while building your own career in education or child development, apply today for immediate consideration.
