Can you be a TA without qualifications?

If you’re interested in becoming a Teaching Assistant in Suffolk, 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.

What qualifications are needed to work in a School?

The qualifications required for school roles vary depending on the position. Teaching roles typically require a recognised teaching qualification, while support roles like Teaching Assistant or Learning Support Assistant often ask for a minimum of GCSEs in English and Maths. Many schools also value relevant experience or vocational qualifications, particularly for instructor and support positions. At 4myschools, we help you understand the specific qualifications needed for different roles in Suffolk and offer training and development opportunities to build your skills. Whether you’re starting out or aiming to progress your career, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Teaching assistants’ pay varies by experience.

Understanding AWR (Agency Workers Regulations)

The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) are in place to make sure agency workers are treated fairly across the UK—including in Suffolk.

At 4myschools, we fully support and apply AWR to ensure our supply staff are valued and treated equally. It’s part of our commitment to providing fair, flexible work for our educators while delivering outstanding support to schools across Suffolk.

At 4myschools, you get paid holiday pay, which is rolled up into your daily rate, and you’ll see the full breakdown on your booking confirmation.
