Graduate Gap Year Assistant

We are seeking graduates with a genuine interest in pursuing a future career in teaching to join us for one academic year from 1st September.

Bishopsgate’s priorities are the encouragement of a lifelong love of learning and the development of key skills that will enable our pupils to enjoy happy and successful lives. We embrace the concept of ‘failing forward’ and seeing the bumps in the road as an important aspect of a healthy learning journey.

We are looking for classroom support staff who understand the importance of nurturing life skills which will in turn support the teaching of the core subject skills. Through a broad education, in a nurturing environment, we hope that our children will become well-rounded individuals, who understand the need to be respectful and kind to others. A child who is happy, enthusiastic and inquisitive holds the perfect platform for them to get the most out of the Bishopsgate experience.

A healthy dialogue between each member of staff and the child, where the child is encouraged to question, debate and take risks, allows the teacher to find the best way to make the most of a child’s natural ability. Children also learn to work on aspects of life that they may find more challenging.

Most of all, we want children to enjoy their childhood!

With Bishopsgate seen by many as a leading advocate of the Pre Senior Baccalaureate model, do you have the capacity to help children to learn in this manner and harness the values of the PSB? 

We are very proud of our staff community, more of which you can read in our Applicant Pack. If all of the above feels like a good fit, then we look forward to receiving your application.

This role constitutes regulated activity.

Bishopsgate School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of everyone in our care and therefore this post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
