Are you an English graduate from a top UK university, eager to gain real-world experience in a secondary school setting? We’re looking for an English Graduate Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming boys’ secondary school in Barnet, supporting students aged 14–18 in achieving success in English while also helping those with additional learning needs.

 

As an English Graduate Teaching Assistant, you’ll support both general SEN provision and provide tailored intervention to help students thrive in English Language and Literature. You’ll work closely with pupils who need extra help with reading comprehension, writing, and exam preparation – supporting them through 1:1 and small group sessions.

  • Assisting English lessons by clarifying content and encouraging pupil participation
  • Leading small group literacy interventions and 1:1 tuition sessions
  • Supporting students with SEND, such as Autism, ADHD, and processing difficulties
  • Collaborating with the SENDCo and English department to ensure targeted progress

 

This role is ideally suited for graduates considering careers in teaching, educational psychology, publishing, or speech and language therapy. You’ll gain first-hand experience in the classroom, access CPD opportunities, and work alongside a cohort of like-minded graduates in a structured and supportive environment.

 

English Graduate Teaching Assistant - We’re looking for:

  • A First-Class or high 2:1 degree in English or a related subject
  • A strong academic background and a clear passion for English and literacy
  • Patience, resilience, and a desire to support pupils with varying needs
  • Full availability from September 2025 to July 2026
