Could you make a real difference to pupils who need extra support to stay on track in class? Are you looking for a primary school role that gives you broad classroom experience before teacher training?

Graduate Teaching Assistant

September 2026 to July 2027
£85 - £101 per day

General TA support across a KS2 class

The Role

Provide day-to-day classroom support across a KS2 class, working with pupils on a 1:1 basis, in small groups, and as part of whole-class learning.

The Candidate

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
