Graduate Teaching Assistant – Train to Teach in London

Q – Are you a graduate interested in teaching, but not quite ready to dive into a PGCE or SCITT?

Q – Looking for a school that offers paid teacher training, outstanding leadership, and real development opportunities?

EdEx can help, here's how….

EdEx are exclusively partnered with 3 East London Secondary Schools (Haringey, Hackney, Enfield). Each school is looking for high-achieving graduates, who are keen to embark on teacher training, but want hands‑on experience in schools before taking the plunge. Each school is graded ‘Outstanding’ and is part of the leading trust in London. You will be surrounded by like-minded, ambitious, caring graduates, who want to make a genuine difference.

Teaching in London is vibrant, fast‑paced and life‑changing, not just for you, but for the young people you’ll support. We all remember our best teachers. This is your opportunity to become one of them.

EdEx are working on x6 Graduate Teaching Assistant roles, starting in September 2025. Each role is guaranteed for one full academic year. September 2025 – July 2026. Full time, Monday to Friday. If you enjoy your year at the school and cement your passion for teaching, inspiring real change and inspiring students, you can train to teach from September 2026, on a salaried teacher training SCITT (paid for + no more student debt). You will be supported, nurtured and progress quickly.

What skills and experience do you need as a Graduate Teaching Assistant?

• A graduate, 1st Class or 2:1
• Strong A Levels and GCSEs across the board – especially in your chosen subject specialism
• An evident passion for inspiring young people – this must come across during interview
• A general understanding of potential routes into teaching – but you don't need to know everything
• Resilience, Can‑Do Attitude & Positive Demeanour – Teaching and Teaching Assistant roles are tough, but rewarding

That's all you need – Experience like tutoring, mentoring, summer camps or childcare is a bonus but not essential. Most important is your desire to make an impact.
