Could you be the extra support a KS2 class needs to stay focused and make steady progress? Are you looking for a primary school role where you can build practical classroom experience across the full academic year?

Graduate Teaching Assistant
September 2026 to July 2027
£85 - £101 per day
Supportive primary school, Wolverhampton
General TA duties across KS2

The Role

Provide day-to-day classroom support across KS2, working with pupils individually, in small groups, and as part of whole-class learning. You will help reinforce learning in English, Maths, and wider curriculum subjects, support classroom routines, prepare simple resources, and work closely with the class teacher to help pupils stay engaged and make progress.

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.
