Undergraduate? Work in a school

Have you ever thought about teaching, educational psychology, or working with young people?  This is your chance to try it out for real!

We’ve got opportunities to begin right now and September in schools across Tyne and Wear, including Sunderland, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Gateshead, Durham and South Tyneside.

No long-term pressure. Just proper, hands-on experience.

Start in the classroom as a:
 SEND Support Assistant
 Cover Supervisor

You’ll be supporting pupils day to day, building confidence, and seeing what school life is really like, not just what you read in textbooks.

Why this works (especially if you're eyeing up Ed Psych ):

This is the kind of experience universities love.
You’ll see behaviour, learning needs, and development up close, not just in theory.

What you’ll get:

•  Flexible work around uni or post-grad life
• Experience in local schools, not miles away
•  Support from a friendly consultant who gets it
•  A clear path into full-time roles in September

And if you decide teaching is for you?
We’ll help you land something long-term in a school that actually supports you as you start out.

Not sure if you’re ready?
That’s exactly why this exists. Come and give it a go.

Let’s chat, no pressure.

We’ll talk through what you’re looking for and get you into a school that fit
