"How to Become a Teaching Assistant"

Teaching assistants (TAs) play an essential role in all schools. As a TA, you will support class teachers by offering one-to-one support to students and will also run group tuition and interventions.

Taking a role as a teaching assistant is a great stepping stone toward a career in teaching; you will learn to build strong relationships with students and to support their learning without the pressure of the planning and paperwork required in a PGCE.

The role is especially suitable for graduates looking for sustainable, engaging work to support, for example, evening study or developing a creative portfolio. It is an active, physical job that is entirely off-screen.

The job also provides an opportunity to develop transferable soft skills especially if your long-term goals involve working with children or young people.
