Academics are seeking Sports and Psychology students or graduates who are interested in working as Teaching Assistants within both mainstream and specialist schools across Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas.

We are particularly keen to hear from graduates based in Milton Keynes who are considering future careers in child psychology, social work, education, or sports therapy. Schools we work closely with require dedicated Teaching Assistants on both part-time and full-time bases, and Academics can also support with placement year opportunities if required.

As a SEND Teaching Assistant with Academics, you will:

• Build strong relationships with pupils requiring 1:1 or small group support.
• Support academic and social development while liaising with the SENCO and wider staff team.
• Assist the class teacher in delivering lessons, leading activities, and following behaviour management policies.

This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands‑on classroom experience while making a genuine impact. You will support a broad range of SEND pupils, including those with ASC, ADHD, and SEMH, in a setting that matches your skills and interests.

If you’re looking to kick‑start your career in education and use the skills you’ve developed in Sports or Psychology, working with Academics in Milton Keynes is the perfect first step.
