Elite Secondary School – Kensington, Central London
Salary: £25,000+ (or strong daily rate equivalent) | Full-Time | Immediate Start

Top graduates only. Real responsibility. Immediate impact.

If you’re a high-calibre graduate looking for more than just a “support role,” this opportunity in a prestigious Kensington secondary school offers a genuine platform to build experience, develop confidence, and fast-track your career in education.

This school is known for attracting some of the brightest students in London — and they’re now looking for equally impressive graduates to support and challenge them.

What Makes This Role Different?

This is not a passive, observational position. From day one, you’ll be embedded in the classroom, working alongside outstanding teachers and playing a key role in student success.

You will:

  • Deliver targeted academic support through 1:1 and small group sessions
  • Work closely with high-achieving students aiming for top universities
  • Support lesson delivery across KS3 and KS4 (with exposure to KS5)
  • Assist with stretch and challenge activities beyond the core curriculum
  • Act as a mentor, building confidence and academic resilience in students

The School

Set in the heart of Kensington, this is a highly aspirational and academically focused school with a reputation for excellence. Behaviour is strong, expectations are high, and staff are given the tools to succeed.

Why graduates love working here:

  • A culture of academic ambition and intellectual curiosity
  • Exceptional mentorship from experienced teachers and leaders
  • A clear track record of graduates progressing into teacher training and leadership pathways
  • A polished, professional environment that mirrors top independent schools

Who They Want

This role is designed for top graduates who are serious about education:

  • 2:1 or First-Class degree from a leading university
  • Strong A-Level results
  • Confident communicators with a proactive mindset
  • A genuine interest in teaching or working with young people
  • Individuals who thrive in high-performance environments

What You’ll Gain

  • £25,000+ salary (or competitive daily rate)
  • Unrivalled classroom experience in a top-tier school
  • Direct pathway into PGCE or salaried teacher training
  • The chance to work with highly motivated, ambitious students
  • A role that will genuinely set you apart professionally

Why Apply Now?

Roles like this don’t come around often — especially with an immediate start and the chance to work in one of London’s most desirable boroughs.

If you’re ambitious, capable, and ready to step into a role where you’ll be challenged and developed from day one:

Apply now. Stand out. Get ahead.
