Overview of Teaching Assistant opportunities in London

Teaching Assistants (TAs) support learning, classroom management and pupil wellbeing across mainstream schools, academies, independent schools and specialist SEN provisions. Typical duties include small-group interventions, 1:1 support, behaviour and safeguarding support, and helping teachers deliver engaging lessons. Demand is strong in London due to pupil growth, inclusion initiatives and targeted intervention programmes, especially for early years, literacy/phonics and SEND.

On jobwise, you can quickly discover roles aligned to your strengths—whether you prefer EYFS, Key Stage 1–2, secondary subjects, or specialist SEN settings. Our AI-driven platform analyses your CV to surface the most relevant vacancies, helping you spend less time searching and more time progressing your education career.

What to expect from Contract work

Contract TA roles typically include fixed-term posts (e.g., a term or academic year) and short-term cover. They offer flexibility to gain experience in different schools and boroughs, with clear end dates and the option to extend or move onto a new placement. Pay is usually weekly via PAYE or umbrella arrangements; you’ll submit timesheets and be paid only for hours worked during term time. While not as secure as permanent posts, contracts can be a fast route to building classroom experience and often lead to permanent offers.

With jobwise, you can filter by contract length, start date, year group, SEN focus, and London borough. Save searches, enable alerts, and compare opportunities side by side to find the right balance of stability, flexibility and pay.

Pay, working hours and long-term career growth

In London, Teaching Assistant day rates commonly range from around £80–£110+, varying by borough, experience (e.g., HLTA), and SEN responsibilities. Hours are typically school-based (roughly 8:15–3:45), with occasional breakfast/after-school club opportunities for additional pay. SEN roles and specialist interventions may command higher rates. Term-time only schedules support work–life balance, with most contracts aligning to the academic calendar.

Career progression pathways include Senior TA or HLTA, Cover Supervisor, Pastoral or Behaviour Mentor, and routes into Qualified Teacher Status via school-based training (e.g., School Direct) or university-led programmes. jobwise insights help you identify employers and roles with higher pay, funded CPD, and clear progression ladders.

Key skills and requirements

  • Classroom support: small-group and 1:1 interventions, phonics and numeracy support, lesson preparation.
  • Safeguarding and behaviour: de-escalation strategies, positive behaviour support, awareness of SEND and EHCPs.
  • Communication and teamwork: collaborating with teachers, SENCOs and parents; clear written notes and pupil progress updates.
  • Adaptability and empathy: supporting diverse learners, including EAL and pupils with additional needs.
  • Desirable certifications: Enhanced DBS (on the Update Service preferred), Safeguarding Level 1+, First Aid, Team Teach/positive handling, Prevent Duty awareness.
  • Compliance: Right to Work in the UK and suitable references; any required training can often be completed quickly.
  • Transferable skills: childcare, youth work, tutoring, mentoring and customer-facing experience—jobwise’s AI can surface these from your CV.
