Language Graduates- Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistant Opportunities - Language Graduates

Based in Lewisham

Are you graduating with a degree in Languages, Linguistics, English, TESOL, or Translation and wondering how to use your skills in a meaningful, rewarding role?

We are looking for enthusiastic, creative, and confident graduates to work as Teaching Assistants in one of the wonderful primary or secondary schools we partner with in Lewisham. This can be a fantastic first step if you're considering a future career in education.

After graduating, I began working in a school setting and was surrounded by like‑minded graduates who shared my passion for communication, culture, and education. The school both supported and challenged me, helping me grow professionally and personally. That experience ultimately opened the door for me to train and become a teacher. As your consultant, I would be excited to be part of this chapter with you.

Your training has already given you:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Match you with one of the lovely schools we work with
• Support your long‑term career development

This opportunity is perfect if you’re thinking about becoming:

• A Teacher
• A Teaching Assistant
• An English, MFL, or Literacy Teacher
