Teaching Assistant Jobs in London

Working as a Teaching Assistant means building relationships, providing consistency and making a real impact in the classroom every day.

At Ethos Education, we help Teaching Assistants find rewarding opportunities in supportive primary and secondary schools across London. Whether you are supporting a whole class, working 1:1 with a pupil or helping children with additional needs, we understand the important role you play within a school community.

Long-Term Teaching Assistant Opportunities

We specialise in long-term Teaching Assistant jobs in London where staff can become part of a school community and make a lasting impact on children’s learning, progress and wellbeing.

Many of the schools we work with are looking for reliable and committed support staff who can build strong relationships with both pupils and teachers over time. Many schools also invite candidates in for a trial day before offering long-term roles, giving them the opportunity to see how Teaching Assistants interact within the classroom environment. You can also read our advice on what schools really look for during Teaching Assistant trial days to help you feel more confident and prepared.

Teaching Assistants also play an important role in supporting teaching and learning in line with the Department for Education guidance on the use of Teaching Assistants in schools.

Support from a Dedicated Consultant

As a small, local team, we take the time to understand what the right school environment looks like for you.

Our consultants work closely with both schools and candidates throughout placements. Regular check-ins help ensure that the role is positive and well supported for everyone involved.

You will also have a dedicated consultant who understands your experience and remains in contact throughout your placement, not just at the start.
