Find rewarding Teaching Assistant
Jobs in Camden Schools with JobsinED

Not necessarily! At JobsinED, we specialise in placing graduates who may not have prior school experience but show the right attitude, enthusiasm, and potential. Many of our roles offer full training and are ideal for those looking to gain practical classroom experience before entering teacher training or other education-related careers.

We work with graduates from a wide range of academic backgrounds, particularly those who are aspiring to become qualified teachers through routes such as a PGCE, Schools Direct, or Teach First. We also support those aiming for careers in psychology or therapy, including Educational and Clinical Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, Social Workers, Counsellors, and other mental health professionals. If you're looking to gain meaningful, hands-on experience working with children or young people — especially those with Special Educational Needs (SEN) — our roles provide the perfect foundation to support your long-term career goals.

No formal qualification is required to get started, although a Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is an advantage. Most of our candidates learn on the job while being supported by experienced school staff. If you’re motivated, reliable, and passionate about working with children, we can help you get started.

Teaching Assistant salaries in Camden typically range from £20,000 to £30,000 per year, depending on your experience, responsibilities, and the specific needs of the school. Most roles are term-time only, which means salaries are usually pro-rata’d based on the school year. Rather than an annual salary, many schools pay on a daily rate, which generally falls between £90 and £110 per day.

Higher rates may be offered for positions involving additional responsibility, such as working with pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN), providing 1:1 support, or working as an Academic Mentor in a secondary school setting. At JobsinED, we always aim to ensure your pay fairly reflects your level of commitment, skill, and potential.

Once you've completed a successful interview with us and passed all safeguarding checks, you could start working in as little as 24 hours — particularly if you already have a valid, enhanced DBS certificate on the update service. For most candidates, the full vetting process takes between 1 to 10 working days, depending on how quickly we receive the required documents. As soon as you're cleared, we move fast to match you with the right school so you can get started without delay.

JobsinED doesn’t just place you and leave you — we offer continued support, advice, and guidance throughout your placement. We’ll check in regularly, provide career development tips, and offer insight into what your next steps could be — whether that’s teacher training, a psychology-based career, or something else in education.

Unlike many generalist agencies, JobsinED focuses exclusively on long-term and permanent roles for graduates looking to build a career in education. We’re selective with the schools we partner with, and we take time to match you where you'll thrive. No pushy sales tactics — just honest advice and proper support.
