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 Hertfordshire to provide a wide selection of rewarding opportunities, whether you’re seeking full-time, part-time, or flexible work.
