Are you interested in working in primary schools but unsure how to get started?

At Cover People, we are hosting a FREE Primary Education CPD session designed for people looking to transition into education and gain the confidence, knowledge and classroom understanding schools are looking for.

Who Is This Suitable For?

This opportunity is ideal for:

✔ Aspiring Teaching Assistants
✔ Graduates considering teaching or education careers
✔ Support workers, youth workers and care staff
✔ Sports coaches and mentors
✔ Individuals returning to education after time away
✔ Anyone passionate about supporting children in schools

What Will the CPD Cover?
  • Behaviour management strategies
  • Safeguarding essentials
  • Classroom expectations
  • Supporting teaching and learning
  • Building confidence in school settings
  • What schools are really looking for from support staff
The Pathway Into Paid Work

Following the CPD session, candidates will complete a mandatory 5-day voluntary placement within a local primary school.

This is a key part of the process and gives candidates the best possible chance of securing paid work in schools.

Why? Because nothing improves employability more than:
✅ Real classroom experience
✅ Positive feedback from schools
✅ Demonstrating reliability and professionalism in person
✅ Building confidence in a live school environment

Many candidates who complete this pathway progress into paid roles such as:
Teaching Assistant
SEN TA
Behaviour Mentor
Classroom Support

⚠️ Important

The 5-day voluntary placement is mandatory as part of this pathway into paid work, so applicants must be comfortable completing this stage of the programme.
