Graduate Unqualified Teacher

Graduate Unqualified Teacher

London
£26,500 – £32,000 (1-Year Fixed Term Contract)
Full-Time | September 2026 Start

This is where it starts…

• Thinking about teaching but not ready to commit to a PGCE just yet?
• Want to earn, learn, and build real classroom experience before training?
• Ready to step into a school where you’re treated like a teacher — not just extra support?

This is not your typical graduate role.

KPI Education are working with a number of forward-thinking secondary schools across London offering ambitious graduates the opportunity to step into a Graduate Unqualified Teacher position from September.

This is your chance to test yourself at the front of a classroom, gain invaluable experience, and fast-track your journey into teaching.

What makes this role different?

You won’t be stuck on the sidelines.

• You’ll be leading lessons, not just observing
• You’ll gain real teaching experience from day one
• You’ll be supported by experienced teachers and mentors
• You’ll have a clear pathway into teacher training (PGCE / Schools Direct)

This is a launchpad, not a holding position.

The role:

• Deliver lessons across your subject specialism (with support)
• Build confidence managing a classroom and engaging students
• Support pupils of all abilities to make progress
• Work closely with departments and senior staff to develop your teaching practice

What you’ll gain:

• A competitive salary (£25,500 – £32,000)
• Hands-on teaching experience in a supportive environment
• A full academic year to build your skillset before training
• Strong references and progression into salaried teacher training routes
• A genuine insight into whether teaching is the right long-term career for you

Who this is for:

• Graduates with a 2:1 or above (or predicted)
• Strong A-Levels and academic background
• Confident, proactive individuals who want to step up
• Aspiring teachers looking for a practical route into education

Let’s be honest…

• Could you stand in front of a class and hold their attention?
• Do you have the confidence to lead, explain, and inspire?
• Are you ready to challenge yourself in a fast-paced, rewarding environment?

This is the role people wish they had before jumping into teacher training.

If you’re serious about teaching — or even just curious — this is your opportunity to find out properly.
