Teaching Assistant

Make a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people by starting a rewarding career as a teaching assistant.

Working in school and college environments, you will play a vital role in supporting learners, helping them to develop confidence, independence and a love of learning.

During your studies, you will gain an understanding of child and young people’s development, behaviour and communication, alongside the practical skills needed to support learning in the classroom. You will also benefit from hands-on experience through work placements in local schools, allowing you to apply your learning in real settings and build valuable experience for your future career in education.

Where it can lead to

There are number of routes you can take following successful completion of a course. Further study can include Higher Education courses or a Higher Apprenticeship where you will expand your skills through study whilst earning a wage. Or you may choose to move directly into employment.
