What Careers Are Available in Education?

Education offers a diverse range of roles to match various skills and experience levels. Beyond traditional teaching jobs, there are many other valuable positions such as Teaching Assistant, Cover Supervisor, Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), Instructor, Exam Invigilator, and roles supporting Special Educational Needs (SEN). These roles are essential in creating a positive learning environment where pupils can succeed both inside and outside the classroom. At 4myschools, we partner with schools across London to provide a wide selection of rewarding opportunities, whether you’re seeking full-time, part-time, or flexible work.

Can You Teach Without a PGCE?

Yes, you can teach in the UK without a PGCE, but it depends on the type of school and the role you’re aiming for. While most state schools require Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), usually achieved through a PGCE or alternative pathways, some SEN schools in London may accept candidates without formal teaching qualifications.

At 4myschools, we partner with schools across London to help connect those without a PGCE to the right opportunities.

Can you be a TA without qualifications?

If you’re interested in becoming a Teaching Assistant in London, you’ll need GCSEs in Maths and English at grades 9–4 (A–C)* as a minimum. While experience working with children is a big advantage, it’s not essential. If you haven’t worked in a school before, we welcome candidates with transferable skills from roles such as customer service, care work, or youth work. For those just starting out, we may even be able to help you find voluntary work to gain valuable experience.

At 4myschools, we’re committed to supporting your development. That’s why we offer access to a wide range of CPD courses, including our popular Teaching Assistant for Schools course. This course is a fantastic way to build confidence, understand the role, and prepare yourself to make a real difference in schools across London.

Is It Possible to Teach Without Qualifications?

Although formal teaching qualifications are usually required for full teaching roles, there are several positions within schools that don’t demand them. Roles like unqualified teacher, cover supervisor, Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), and instructor let you support students and staff, gain valuable classroom experience, and contribute positively to education. These roles are a great starting point if you’re looking to enter the education sector. At 4myschools, we assist candidates in London seeking these types of roles and offer training opportunities to help you develop your skills and advance your career. Get in touch with us today to explore your options.

What Qualifications Do You Need to Work in a School?

The qualifications needed vary depending on the role you’re interested in. For teaching positions, a recognised teaching qualification is usually required. For roles like Teaching Assistant or Learning Support Assistant, a minimum of GCSEs in English and Maths is often expected. Many schools also consider relevant experience or vocational qualifications, especially for support and instructor roles. At 4myschools, we provide clear guidance on the qualification requirements for different jobs in London and offer access to training to help you develop the skills you need. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking to move forward, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

What is AWR?

At 4myschools, we are committed to upholding these standards, making sure all our workers receive fair and equal treatment while supporting schools in London with flexible, high-quality staffing solutions.
