Teaching Assistant (TA)

Teaching Assistants, often referred to as TAs, play a vital role in supporting teachers and helping pupils reach their full potential in the classroom. They work in primary, secondary, and special schools, providing assistance with learning activities, supporting students with additional needs, and sometimes managing small groups or individual pupils. TAs may also help prepare classroom resources, supervise pupils during breaks, and aid with administrative tasks. This career is rewarding for those who enjoy working with children and making a positive impact on their education and wellbeing. Many TAs go on to undertake further training to become fully qualified teachers.
