Graduate Teaching Assistant - Future Teacher

Teaching Personnel are working in partnership with a number of Primary schools in Manchester to recruit Graduate Teaching Assistants who wish to begin a teacher training programme in the future, but firstly want to gain additional experience.

Through the Future Teachers Programme, successful graduates will begin a programme (up to a year) as a graduate teaching assistant to gain the school-based experience and tools to be excellent teachers. Over the course of the year, graduate teaching assistants will gradually take on more responsibilities at their respective school.

Working with a range of talented teachers, you will support student learning and get a first-hand insight into what is required to be a confident and capable teacher.

• Full time graduate teaching assistant opportunities within our Future Teachers Programme
• Opportunities for English, Maths, Education studies, Childhood studies, Psychology graduates OR graduates with transferable skills aspiring to become a teacher in the future

These opportunities are full time role with an allocated school in Manchester where you will undertake a variety of tasks and activities that will give you a good understanding as to the role of a teacher. A significant proportion of these tasks and activities will also benefit your subject knowledge as you will focus on raising pupil attainment, supporting special needs pupils, covering classes, assisting with planning, preparing lessons and developing schemes of work.
