• Helping students develop confidence, independence, and strong study habits.
• Building effective behaviour management skills with ongoing mentoring.
• Working collaboratively within your subject department and the wider school team.

This position provides a realistic and supportive introduction to teaching, with structured guidance throughout.

• A degree in Core subjects or a related field (2:1 or above preferred).
• Strong subject knowledge and a genuine interest in education.
• Clear communication skills and a professional, proactive approach.
• The ability to form positive and respectful relationships with young people.
• Resilience, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn.
• Previous experience working with students is beneficial but not essential.

Why Apply?

• Excellent mentoring and development for aspiring teachers.
• Clear pathways into PGCE, Schools Direct, or Teach First programmes.
• Access to high-quality CPD and classroom training.
