Temporary
Graduate Opportunities in Education – Teaching Assistant, Cover Supervisor & Pastoral Support
Location: Secondary Schools across Kent
Employer: Teach South Kent
Contract: Temporary, full time/part time and Flexible Opportunities Available
Salary: Competitive, dependent on role and experience

Are you a graduate looking to gain valuable experience in education? Are you considering a career in teaching, youth work, psychology, counselling, social work or education? 

Teach South Kent is working with a range of secondary schools across Kent  and is looking for enthusiastic, motivated graduates to join schools in a variety of support roles. Whether you're looking to gain classroom experience before completing teacher training, explore a career in education, or simply make a positive difference to young people's lives, we can help you find an opportunity that suits your skills and career goals.
Opportunities include:

Teaching Assistants
- Supporting students in the classroom and helping them to achieve their potential
- Providing additional support to students who may have additional learning needs
- Working alongside teachers and other support staff
- Helping to create a positive and inclusive learning environment

Cover Supervisor
- Supervising classes in the absence of the usual teacher
- Delivering pre-prepared lessons and ensuring students remain engaged
- Managing classroom behaviour and maintaining a positive learning environment
- Gaining valuable experience of working within a secondary school setting

Pastoral Support
- Supporting students with their wellbeing, attendance and engagement
- Building positive relationships with young people
- Working alongside pastoral teams, teachers and families
- Helping students overcome barriers to learning and achieve their potential

What we're looking for:
You don't necessarily need previous school-based experience. We're particularly interested in graduates who are:
  • Passionate about working with young people
  • Enthusiastic, reliable and committed
  • Confident communicating with students and staff
  • Able to build positive relationships
  • Resilient, patient and adaptable
  • Interested in developing a career within education, youth work or a related field
Graduates from any subject background are encouraged to apply. Your degree could be in Education, Psychology, Sports, English, Maths, Science, Humanities — or something completely different.

Why work with Teach South Kent?
Working in a secondary school is a fantastic way to gain practical, hands-on experience and develop transferable skills that can support your future career.
We can offer opportunities across a range of schools in Kent , with roles that can help you:
  • Gain valuable experience working with young people
  • Develop your classroom and behaviour management skills
  • Explore whether teaching is the right career for you
  • Build experience before applying for teacher training
  • Develop your CV and professional skills
  • Make a genuine difference to students' education and wellbeing
If you're a graduate who is passionate about making a difference and wants to gain real-world experience within education, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today to speak to the Teach South Kent team about current opportunities across East Sussex.
