Overview of Teaching Assistant opportunities in London

Teaching Assistants (TAs) support teachers with learning, behaviour, and pastoral care across primary, secondary and specialist settings. In London, demand is strong in mainstream schools, academies, independent schools, SEN schools and PRUs, driven by diverse pupil needs, catch-up programmes and growing SEND provision. jobwise’s AI-driven platform analyses your CV to surface roles where your classroom experience, SEN skills and subject strengths are most valued, helping you discover the right opportunities quickly.

What to expect from Temporary work

Temporary TA work typically covers day-to-day supply, short-term absence, and fixed-term assignments. It offers flexibility to choose when and where you work, with weekly pay and clear timesheet processes. You can accept early-morning bookings or schedule in advance, gaining varied experience across different key stages, boroughs and school types. jobwise lets you filter by contract length, day rate, start date and specialisms (e.g., ASD, EBD, SEMH), so you only see assignments that match your preferences. Pay may be via PAYE or umbrella, with clear guidance on arrangements and compliance.

Pay, working hours and long-term career growth

In London, temporary TA pay commonly ranges from £85–£110 per day (roughly £12–£16 per hour), with higher rates for SEN, 1:1 support or specialist interventions. Core hours are usually school time (around 8:15–3:45), with optional breakfast/after-school clubs for extra hours. Many candidates use temporary roles to build experience and secure long-term posts, progressing to HLTA, Cover Supervisor, Pastoral Lead or routes into initial teacher training. jobwise data helps you compare day rates, highlight high-paying schools and trusts, and track opportunities that align with your career goals.

Key skills and requirements

  • Classroom support: literacy/numeracy interventions, phonics, small-group and 1:1 support.
  • SEN expertise: experience with ASD, ADHD, SEMH, dyslexia; behaviour management and de-escalation strategies.
  • Safeguarding: Enhanced DBS (child workforce), safeguarding training (Level 1/2), understanding of safeguarding policies and reporting.
  • Qualifications: Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant or CACHE; HLTA status is a plus; First Aid and Team Teach/Positive Behaviour Support are valued.
  • Soft skills: patience, clear communication, adaptability, collaboration with teachers and parents, proactive problem-solving.
  • Transferable skills: mentoring, childcare, youth work, tutoring, coaching and customer-facing experience—jobwise’s AI surfaces these strengths from your CV.
