< Back to Job Search

Job Type: Temporary

Location: London, Greater London, England

Salary: £105 - 130 per day


Principal Education is seeking enthusiastic and adaptable individuals to work as teaching assistants and unqualified cover teachers in secondary schools across London. These are flexible daily supply roles – you choose when you’re available. No formal teaching qualifications are required, though previous experience working with young people is highly desirable.

The Roles

Teaching Assistant:

  • Support small groups of pupils with SEN or behavioural needs, or provide 1:1 support to help create an inclusive classroom.

Unqualified Cover Teacher:

  • Deliver pre-prepared lessons in the absence of the class teacher, managing behaviour and maintaining a positive learning environment.

What You MUST Demonstrate

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.
