Looking to turn your degree into a career working with children?

If you've recently graduated and are considering a career in primary education, this could be an excellent opportunity to gain valuable school-based experience before taking your next step.

A friendly and supportive primary school in Stoke-on-Trent (ST5 8JN) is seeking a motivated Graduate Primary Teaching Assistant to join their team from September 2026.

This role is ideal for graduates who want to understand what it's really like to work in a primary school. You'll spend your days supporting pupils, working alongside experienced teachers and helping children overcome challenges and achieve their potential.

Your degree subject doesn't matter — graduates from all disciplines are welcome. Whether you've studied Psychology, Sport, English, History, Business, Science, Languages or something completely different, we'd be keen to hear from you.

We also welcome graduates with a First, 2:1 or 2:2 degree.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This isn't simply a classroom support role. It's an opportunity to build experience that can help shape your future career in education. You'll benefit from:

• A full-time Monday–Friday position, 8:30am–3:30pm
• Term-time working
• £500–£560 per week (£100–£115 per day)
• A long-term opportunity within a supportive primary school
• Guidance and mentoring from experienced teachers
• Practical experience working with primary-aged children
• Opportunities to support pupils on a 1:1 and small-group basis
• Experience working with pupils with SEND and additional learning needs

• A supportive team environment where you can develop professionally
• A convenient Stoke-on-Trent (ST5 8JN) location

Your Role in the Classroom

Every day will be different. You'll become an important member of the school team, helping teachers provide the support pupils need to succeed.

You could be involved in:

• Supporting learning activities across the primary curriculum
• Working with individual pupils who need additional encouragement or support
• Running or assisting with small-group interventions
• Helping children with reading, writing, maths and wider learning
• Supporting pupils with SEND and adapting activities to meet their needs
• Encouraging positive behaviour and helping children develop independence
• Providing reassurance and encouragement to pupils who lack confidence
• Preparing classroom materials and assisting teachers with daily activities
• Helping maintain an organised and positive classroom environment
• Developing strong relationships with pupils and becoming a trusted member of the school team

Could You Be the Right Fit?

We're interested in graduates who are enthusiastic, reliable and genuinely interested in working with children.

You don't need to have studied Education or have previous classroom experience.

We're looking for someone who has:

• A First, 2:1 or 2:2 degree
• A degree in any subject
• A genuine interest in working with primary-aged children
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Patience, enthusiasm and a positive attitude
• The ability to build rapport with children
• A willingness to take advice and learn from experienced teachers
• The ambition to develop a career in education
• The right to work in the UK on a full-time basis

Previous experience working with children is welcomed but is not essential.

What matters most is your attitude, reliability and willingness to get involved.

Gain Experience. Build Confidence. Start Your Career.

For many graduates, getting into education can be difficult without classroom experience. This role gives you the opportunity to get through the school gates, gain practical experience and discover whether a career in primary education is right for you.

You'll have the chance to observe experienced teachers, work directly with pupils and develop skills that will strengthen future applications for teacher training and other education-based careers.

If you're ready to take your first step into a primary school environment, we'd love to hear from you.

You will become a permanent member of the school community while completing a structured programme of practical classroom training. You will learn from experienced teachers, develop your teaching practice and work towards achieving Qualified Teacher Status.

What is an ITT role?

ITT stands for Initial Teacher Training. It is the professional training required to become a qualified teacher in England.

Unlike a traditional university-led course, this school-based role will allow you to train in a real secondary school while earning a salary. You will gradually assume greater teaching responsibility as your confidence and competence develop.

During the programme, you will:

• Work towards Qualified Teacher Status
• Learn how to plan and deliver effective Art lessons

• Develop effective behaviour-management strategies

By the end of the training period, you should be equipped to progress into a qualified teaching position and continue developing your career at the school.

The school

Based in Tooting in the London Borough of Wandsworth, this ambitious boys’ secondary school serves a diverse community and combines high expectations with strong pastoral care.

The school’s values centre on ambition, perseverance and unity. Leaders are committed to creating a calm and purposeful environment in which pupils feel safe, supported and encouraged to aim high.

Pupils typically behave well and approach their studies positively. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful, and the school promotes an inclusive culture in which young people feel confident participating, expressing ideas and learning from mistakes.

The school provides a broad and ambitious secondary curriculum. New teachers benefit from a well-structured professional-development programme, subject-specific support and regular opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues.

This is an excellent setting for an ambitious graduate who wants to train in a supportive school, contribute to a developing Art department and make a lasting difference to young people.

The Art department

Art is taught throughout Key Stage 3, with pupils able to continue the subject at GCSE.

The curriculum helps pupils develop creativity, self-expression and critical-thinking skills. Students explore formal elements such as line, shape, texture and colour while learning to experiment with a wide variety of materials, processes and artistic techniques.

Pupils develop their abilities through:

• Observational drawing
• Painting and colour theory
• Printmaking and stencil work
• Collage and mixed media
• Construction and three-dimensional work
• Artist research and contextual studies
• Portfolio development
• Critical analysis and evaluation
• GCSE-style projects and externally assessed work
• Independent creative investigation

As an Art Graduate Teacher Trainee, you will help pupils take creative risks, refine their techniques and communicate personal ideas through visual work.

The role

You will initially support experienced Art teachers before gradually progressing towards planning and teaching your own lessons.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting Art lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4
• Supporting pupils studying GCSE Art
• Preparing materials, equipment and classroom resources
• Demonstrating artistic techniques and the safe use of equipment
• Helping pupils develop sketchbooks and creative portfolios

• Gradually planning, delivering and evaluating complete lessons
• Carrying out the wider professional responsibilities of a trainee teacher

About you

We are looking for an academically accomplished and highly creative graduate with a genuine desire to become an Art teacher.

The ideal candidate will:

• Hold a First-Class or 2:1 degree in Art, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, Textiles, Photography or another relevant design discipline
• Ideally have graduated from a Russell Group university
• Have achieved excellent GCSE and A-level results
• Demonstrate a strong portfolio and confident practical art skills

• Demonstrate patience, resilience and strong attention to detail
• Be committed to completing Initial Teacher Training
• Have a genuine ambition to establish a long-term teaching career
• Be available to begin a full-time position as soon as possible

Previous experience working with young people would be beneficial, but the school will also consider an exceptional graduate with the right academic background, subject knowledge and commitment to teaching.

What the position offers

• A permanent salary of £28,000–£32,000 per annum
