Overview

Graduate Teaching Assistant Ready to specialise in Year 6 support and see rapid progress? Help pupils tighten core knowledge and sharpen exam craft ahead of SATs.

Immediate start until July 2026 • £90 - £105 per day • Good primary school, Ward of Selly Oak • 1:1 and small group intervention support across Yr6

What you'll do

Run short, well-structured intervention blocks in reading, writing and maths. Pre-teach upcoming content, revisit sticky knowledge with retrieval practice, and model answer planning and timing. Provide 1:1 catch-up, guide small groups, set up lean resources, and capture crisp notes so next steps are clear for the class teacher.

Who you are

A graduate who explains ideas cleanly, keeps sessions purposeful, and notices misconceptions early. You're organised, responsive to feedback, and steady under time pressure.

Requirements

• Degree - A 2:2 or above in a creative subject.
• Communication - Clear, confident written and verbal skills.
• Enhanced DBS - Held already or willingness to obtain.
• Desire to work in education/with children - Strong interest in KS2 progress and fair access.
• Experience working with children - Any relevant experience (tutoring, mentoring, volunteering) is desirable but not essential.

The School

This 'Good' Selly Oak primary is two-form entry with calm, predictable routines and a clear focus on outcomes for Year 6. Reading is prioritised through daily guided reading and vocabulary work; maths is sequenced in small steps with frequent retrieval and consistent methods across classes. Year teams co-plan and share model texts, worked examples and past-paper item banks, so intervention dovetails with whole-class teaching. You'll receive a structured induction, access to ready-made intervention packs, weekly bite-size CPD and coaching drop-ins with precise, usable targets-giving you the conditions to show impact quickly and build a strong portfolio for initial teacher training.
