Job description

General Teaching Assistant - January Start

Aspiring Teachers Wanted | KS2 | Canning Town, Newham
£100+ per day | Paid weekly | Full-time | Long-term

Are you a top English, Maths or Science graduate who wants real classroom responsibility, not just "extra hands" work?
Do you want to run interventions, support SATs, and gain experience that actually counts towards teacher training?

This January-start General Teaching Assistant role places you in a strong KS2 team where graduates are trusted, trained and developed - not sidelined.

Remedy Education is recruiting for a forward-thinking mainstream primary school in Canning Town seeking a confident, bright and outgoing TA to support pupils through a crucial stage of their education.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • You will lead small-group and 1:1 interventions (phonics, literacy, numeracy)

  • Direct involvement in SATs preparation and secondary transition

  • Daily classroom exposure that strengthens PGCE / teacher training applications

  • Clear temp-to-perm pathway for high performers

  • Ongoing training and mentoring within school

Your Role in the Classroom:

  • Support teaching and learning across KS2

  • Deliver structured intervention sessions (reading, writing, maths, phonics)

  • Keep pupils engaged, focused and progressing

  • Work closely with the class teacher to adapt learning for different abilities

  • Act as a positive role model within the school

Who the School Is Looking For:

  • Graduate in English, Maths, Science or similar

  • Confident, articulate and enthusiastic personality

  • Comfortable leading small groups and speaking in front of pupils

  • Experience with children or young people (school, tutoring, youth work, sport, care, etc.)

  • Serious interest in becoming a teacher

Pay & Support:

  • £100+ per day, paid weekly

  • Long-term, full-time position starting January

  • Support from an experienced Remedy Education consultant

  • Access to schools across East London
