Supply Teaching Assistant - Ideal for Students & Graduates (Gateshead)
Protocol Education • Gateshead, England • Posted June 19, 2026
Position Overview
This friendly Gateshead primary school regularly welcomes supply teaching assistants to support pupils across the school day. With class sizes of around 25–28 pupils and a calm, well-organised environment, the school values reliable support staff who are keen to learn and get involved — even if they have never worked in a school before.
This role is ideal for university students, recent graduates, or career changers looking to gain hands-on experience with children. The school often requests the same supply staff, meaning there is strong potential for regular and long-term work once a relationship is built.
The Role:
Supporting pupils during lessons and activities
Working with small groups or one-to-one
Helping pupils stay focused and engaged
Supporting behaviour and classroom routines
Assisting the class teacher throughout the day
