We have partnered with a wonderful Primary school in Central London who are looking for a creative and determined trainee teacher to hit the ground running in a High-Level Teaching Assistant position with them, ideally from September 2022, but they would also consider earlier starts.

If this position sounds good to you, then apply now through Grad2Teach to take the first step on an alternative route to a career in teaching.

This is a good school, where all pupils expect to do well, and parents offer staunch support in encouraging hard work and good behaviour.

The Head Teacher and Governors take a modern approach to delivering the curriculum, promoting the use of every available resource to support not only academic achievement but the development of skills for life.
