Are you a graduate looking to build meaningful experience supporting young people with additional needs before progressing into teaching, educational psychology, or a long-term career in education?
A welcoming and supportive secondary school in Milton Keynes is seeking a confident and resilient Graduate Teaching Assistant to join their team immediately. This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about SEND and SEMH support who is looking to gain valuable first‑hand experience within a school environment.
In this role, you will work closely with students who require additional behavioural, emotional and learning support within mainstream lessons. The school is looking for a proactive graduate who can build positive relationships, maintain clear boundaries and act as a calm and consistent role model for pupils.
What the School is Looking For:
- A graduate with a 2:2 degree or above
- Full UK Driving License
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- A calm, patient and resilient personality
- Confidence supporting behaviour and emotional regulation
- Interest in teaching, educational psychology, SEND or SEMH support
- Ability to adapt quickly and use initiative within a busy school setting
About the Role:
- Full‑time Graduate Teaching Assistant position
- Monday to Friday, term‑time only
- Based in Milton Keynes
- Start date: September 2026
- Weekly pay of £500–£520
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This school has developed a strong reputation for supporting pupils with additional needs and creating a nurturing environment where students feel understood, supported and encouraged to succeed.
Graduates joining the school will work closely with experienced staff and SEN professionals, gaining valuable experience in behaviour management, emotional support strategies and classroom practice. The leadership team are passionate about developing future educators and provide graduates with ongoing support and guidance throughout their placement.
This role is particularly well suited to graduates considering careers in teaching, educational psychology, therapy or wider SEND support services.
If you are looking for experience that will genuinely prepare you for a future in education while making a meaningful difference to young people, we would love to hear from you.
