Salary: £500 - £560 per week

Could your enthusiasm and encouragement help shape a child's confidence during their most important years of learning?

Are you a graduate keen to gain meaningful classroom experience before embarking on teacher training or a long-term career in education?

Would you enjoy working in a supportive primary school where no two days are the same and every day presents an opportunity to make a lasting impact?

KPi Education are currently partnering with a number of welcoming and high-achieving primary schools across St Helens and Warrington to recruit Graduate Primary Teaching Assistants for long-term positions starting in September 2026.

These opportunities are perfect for graduates who want to immerse themselves in school life, develop their classroom skills, and gain invaluable experience supporting pupils across the primary age range.

Graduate Primary Teaching Assistant – The Role

Working alongside experienced teachers and support staff, you will play an active role in helping pupils achieve both academically and personally.

Typical responsibilities include:

• Providing individual and small-group academic support
• Delivering focused interventions in reading, writing, phonics, and mathematics
• Encouraging pupil engagement, participation, and confidence in lessons
• Assisting teachers in creating positive and inclusive learning environments
• Supporting classroom activities, educational visits, and enrichment opportunities
• Helping pupils overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential
• Offering additional support to children with varying learning needs when required

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain first-hand experience of life in a primary school while making a genuine contribution to children's development and achievement.

Who We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in graduates who have achieved a 2:1 degree or above in:

• Core Subjects (Maths, English or Science)

Successful candidates will possess:

• A genuine enthusiasm for working with children
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
