Are you interested in working in education but looking for flexibility? This combined opportunity allows you to experience different aspects of school life, from helping pupils in the classroom to supporting the smooth running of examinations.

The role would suit graduates, university students, aspiring teachers, or anyone who enjoys working with young people. Previous experience in a school is welcome but not essential, as a positive attitude and willingness to learn are just as important.

About the Role

Teaching Assistant Responsibilities:

  • Work closely with teachers to support pupils during lessons and classroom activities.

  • Provide one-to-one assistance and support small groups with their learning.

  • Help pupils understand instructions and stay focused on their tasks.

  • Help prepare examination rooms before each session.

  • Distribute examination papers and collect completed scripts.

  • Monitor students throughout examinations and maintain a quiet environment.

  • Report any concerns or irregularities to the relevant examination staff.

What We Are Looking For

  • Someone who enjoys supporting children and young people.

  • A reliable and punctual individual with a professional attitude.

  • Good communication and interpersonal skills.

  • The ability to follow instructions and school procedures carefully.

  • Confidence working independently and as part of a team.

  • Flexibility to support different school activities and responsibilities.

Previous experience in education, childcare, tutoring, or examination settings would be an advantage, but applications from candidates looking to gain their first experience in schools are also encouraged.

What GSL Education Offers

  • Competitive daily pay of £100–£125.

  • Flexible, ad hoc working opportunities.

  • Potential for 3–5 days of work per week, depending on school requirements.

  • Experience in both classroom support and examination supervision.

  • Opportunities to develop skills and build experience within education.

  • Dedicated support from a friendly GSL Education consultant.

Please keep in mind that these roles require a strong understanding of safeguarding and child protection. Successful applicants must satisfy all background safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS on the Update Service.
