Graduate Academic Support Assistant

Kenley, Surrey (near London) - Full‑time | Long‑term | Term‑time only - Start: After February Half Term - Competitive Salary

Are you an academic graduate looking for a meaningful role in education where you can support young learners and grow your professional skills? We are seeking a passionate Graduate Academic Support Assistant to join a close‑knit school community in Kenley. This is a rewarding, hands‑on opportunity to work alongside experienced teachers and staff in a setting that values academic rigour, personal growth and mutual respect. This school community is driven by a commitment to fostering confidence, independence and lifelong learning in all students.

Pupils are encouraged from an early age to take increasing responsibility for their progress — developing strong critical thinking, problem‑solving and self‑directed learning skills that prepare them for future success and life‑long achievement.

• A broad, personalised curriculum that blends structured learning with opportunities for student‑led inquiry and real‑world application.
• A welcoming environment where students are known, understood and encouraged to excel academically and personally.
• A strong focus on developing self‑directed learners, enabling students to build confidence, ownership and independence as they progress through Years 3–13.
• Students benefit from a comprehensive curriculum that spans core and creative subjects, supported by technologies and learning‑rich environments that help them realise their full potential.
• Pupils regularly engage in projects that build teamwork, communication and leadership — from academic challenges to community service initiatives where they apply their academic skills to real‑world goals.

As a Graduate Academic Support Assistant, you will:

• Support students across a range of subjects in class and in small groups.
• Help learners access and engage with the curriculum.
• Work with teachers to develop strategies that enhance academic progress.

This role is perfect for graduates interested in education, learning support, curriculum development or teaching, and offers excellent experience for those considering future teacher training.

You’ll be part of a community that takes professional growth seriously. Structured CPD includes:

• Access to an in‑house Teacher Academy offering ongoing training and support.
• Mentoring and guidance to build confidence and classroom expertise.
• Clear pathways to teacher training (PGCE, Schools Direct or equivalent) and sustained professional progression for committed graduates.

Joining this supportive environment means you’ll work with students who are engaged, respectful and eager to learn, with smaller class sizes that allow more personalised support and impactful interaction. If you want a role where your academic strengths make a real difference — and where you can develop your career in education — we’d love to hear from you.
