Graduate Opportunity – Gain Experience in Schools (Ideal for Future Teachers!)
Location: Bristol | Hours: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm | Pay: £450/week

Are you a recent graduate looking to take your first step into education? Whether you’re considering a career in teaching, educational psychology, or simply want to gain valuable experience working with young people – this is a fantastic opportunity to get started!

We’re looking for enthusiastic, compassionate graduates to join supportive school environments where you'll work closely with students who need a little extra help to thrive. You don’t need prior school experience – just a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a genuine interest in making a difference.

What You’ll Gain:

1:1 Student Support Experience: You’ll work directly with students, helping them to access learning, build confidence, and develop essential life skills.

Training and Mentorship: You’ll receive guidance from experienced staff and gain exposure to a range of strategies for supporting students with varying needs.

Hands-On Learning: Support students both in and out of the classroom, including during creative lessons, group activities, and practical learning.

Insight into SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities): Learn how to support students with a wide range of needs – from autism to social-emotional difficulties.

A Stepping Stone Into Teaching or Further Study: Perfect for anyone considering teacher training, PGCEs, or further qualifications in education or psychology.

What You'll Be Doing:

Supporting students 1:1 or in small groups with learning, communication, and social skills.

Assisting teachers during lessons, helping to adapt activities to meet individual needs.

Encouraging positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing using inclusive, supportive approaches.

Helping students engage with creative and outdoor-based learning activities.

Supporting non-verbal learners or those with communication needs using methods like Makaton or visual aids (training provided!).

Who We're Looking For:

Graduates from any discipline – education, psychology, sociology, English, science, and more!

Someone who enjoys working with young people and wants to make a meaningful impact.

Experience with children or young people (formally or informally) is beneficial – think tutoring, youth work, camps, care, coaching, etc.

A team player with good communication skills and a calm, patient nature.

A DBS on the Update Service is ideal, but we can help you apply if needed.

Why Apply?

Get your foot in the door in education and start building your career.

Learn from experienced professionals in a supportive school setting.

Earn while gaining real, practical experience.

Open the door to teacher training, further study, or specialist roles in education.
