Graduates – Start Your Education Career (September 2026)
Cover Supervisor/Teaching Assistant roles
£92.63 to £100 per day
Perfect for graduates exploring teaching
Just graduated and considering a career in education? Not sure if you want to commit to a PGCE yet? I'm recruiting graduates of any subject or discipline to work as Cover Supervisors and Teaching Assistants across Gateshead and Newcastle from September 2026.
This is the perfect way to get paid classroom experience before making long-term decisions. You'll work in secondary schools, support students, gain confidence managing classrooms, and figure out if teaching is genuinely right for you – all while earning competitive daily rates.
What you'll be doing:
As a Cover Supervisor, you'll deliver pre-prepared lessons when teachers are absent, manage classroom behaviour, and keep students on task.
As a Teaching Assistant, you'll support students in lessons, work 1:1 or with small groups, and help teachers deliver effective learning.
Both roles give you genuine insight into education before you commit to teacher training.
You'll need:
Why this works:
I work with plenty of graduates who've used these roles as a stepping stone. Some loved it and went straight into PGCEs with genuine experience already under their belt. Others realised teaching wasn't for them and moved into other careers – which is absolutely fine and exactly what this experience is for.
If you're a recent graduate wanting to explore education, send me your CV or call 0191 223 5071. Let's have a chat about what you're looking for.
