Russell Group Graduate Teaching Assistant – London
September Start | Earn £27,000 – £32,000 | Elite School Experience
Graduated from a Russell Group university and wondering what’s next?
Thinking about teaching, psychology, or a career working with young people?
Want to get paid to gain world-class school experience before your next big step?
Outstanding schools across London are searching for exceptional Russell Group graduates to join their teams as Graduate Teaching Assistants this September. These highly sought-after roles are designed for ambitious graduates who want to gain invaluable experience in education while working alongside some of the best teachers and school leaders in the country.
Whether your background is in English, Maths, Science, Psychology, Humanities, Languages, or STEM, these schools are looking for academically strong graduates with personality, confidence, and the drive to make a genuine impact.
This is not your average graduate role. You will become a key part of school life — supporting students academically, mentoring young people, leading interventions, and developing the skills needed for future careers in teaching, educational psychology, therapy, or leadership.
