Are you a Maths graduate eager to gain practical experience supporting young people in a mainstream primary school

Milk Education is offering an exciting opportunity in Leeds for Maths graduates to begin or build on a career in education. This is a hands-on, rewarding role where you’ll work as a Teaching Assistant in local primary schools, supporting students from 4-11 who require tailored assistance to thrive in their education.

The Role – What to Expect:

As a Maths Graduate Teaching Assistant, you’ll work closely with students on a one-to-one or small-group basis, providing emotional, behavioural, and academic support in a structured, inclusive environment. This role is ideal for anyone considering a future in educational mathematics, teaching, counselling, or social care.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide targeted support to students
• Implement strategies from Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
• Encourage emotional regulation, resilience, and independent learning.
• Work alongside SENCOs, teachers, and external specialists to deliver consistent support.
• Support students with behaviour management and classroom engagement.
• Track student progress and provide feedback to teaching staff.
• Foster a calm, inclusive classroom atmosphere that promotes learning and respect.

What We’re Looking For:

• A strong interest in supporting pupils and those with additional needs.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Patience, empathy, and a proactive, problem-solving attitude.
• Previous experience working with children or young people (desirable but not essential).
• Willingness to undertake training (e.g. safeguarding, autism awareness).
• Enhanced DBS (or willingness to apply for one).

Why This Role is Perfect for Maths Graduates:

• Direct experience supporting young people in a primary school environment.
• A stepping stone into careers such as Educational Mathematics, Youth Work, Teaching, or Social Work.
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
• Flexible working options and supportive school settings.
• Opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable students.
