About this job

Veritas Education is looking to appoint enthusiastic and motivated Graduate Teaching Assistants to support secondary schools across the Kirklees area. This is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates who are considering a career in teaching or education and want to gain valuable, hands-on classroom experience.

You will work under the guidance of teaching staff and senior leaders, supporting pupils aged 11-16 in both mainstream and specialist settings. Your role will involve providing academic support, classroom supervision, 1:1 intervention, and contributing to a positive, safe learning environment.

• Support pupils in lessons, helping them to engage with learning and achieve their full potential
• Provide 1:1 and small-group intervention sessions in core subjects where required
• Assist class teachers with lesson preparation, behaviour management, and classroom organisation
• Work collaboratively with teaching staff, SENCOs, and pastoral teams
• Help maintain a safe and inclusive environment aligned with safeguarding and school policies
• Build positive relationships with pupils to promote confidence, independence, and resilience
