We are looking to train teachers across subject areas. We would be particularly interested in hearing from individuals with a desire to train in technology-based subjects as well as Maths and English.
We understand that those keen to get into teaching come from a variety of academic and workplace backgrounds with different levels of experience. The main thing we ask is that you are passionate about the subject you wish to teach and, also about giving the young people you teach the best opportunities to progress.

Candidates should hold a degree from a UK higher education provider, or a recognised equivalent qualification. You will also need to have a grade C (or equivalent) in English and Mathematics.
If you aren’t quite ready to train as a teacher and would like to gain more experience working with young people first, a popular way to do this is to take on the role of Study Supervisor or Learning Support Assistant. Please check our current vacancies to see positions available.
