Thinking About Becoming a Teacher? Start Here.

Every year, graduates tell us the same thing:

"I know I want to teach, but I need the right school to learn, develop and gain real classroom experience first."

If that sounds like you, this could be exactly the opportunity you've been looking for.

This is an ideal role for graduates considering teacher training in 2026 or beyond and looking to gain meaningful school-based experience before taking the next step.

Unlike many Teaching Assistant positions, this role offers genuine opportunities to develop your classroom practice, work alongside experienced teachers and gain exposure to all aspects of school life.

You'll be joining a team that believes in investing in people and providing opportunities for talented graduates to develop their skills and confidence within the classroom.

The leadership team understands the journey into teaching and provides the guidance, mentoring and exposure needed to make an informed decision about your future career.
