Typical full-time TA salaries in London range from £20,000–£28,000 depending on borough, setting, and level; HLTAs can earn £27,000–£32,000. Daily rates often fall around £85–£120+ for long-term assignments, rising for SEN experience or complex needs support. Inner London and specialist provisions may pay more, and some roles offer additional allowances for 1:1 or ASD/SEMH support. Hours follow the school day with occasional after-school clubs or interventions; most roles are term time only and therefore paid pro‑rata. Career ladders are clear: TA → Senior TA/HLTA → Cover Supervisor or Pastoral Lead → Initial Teacher Training or Qualified Teacher routes.
