Graduate Assistant Teacher

Are you considering a career in Teaching, but would like to gain some school experience first? We are looking for enthusiastic graduates to join us as Assistant Teachers to support the learning of our pupils.

Are you a graduate, or final year undergraduate, considering your career options? Do you have a real love of children and a desire to have a career where you can have an impact on young lives, but are not sure whether teaching is for you? Our three schools have children from aged 2 – 11 years so we can give a breadth of experience to enable you to make an informed choice about where your passion for teaching may lie. In this role you will gain invaluable experience and training, and support applying for the Sept 2020 GLF SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training) programme.

Among the very experienced Executive Leadership Team we have a Local Leader of Education (LLE) and a Specialist Leader of Education (SLE), as well as other school leaders who work closely with the GLF Teaching School and SCITT. This enables us to support staff career development at all levels including LSA and Graduate Teacher Apprenticeships, HLTA training, Initial Teacher Training (SCITT), Middle and Senior Leader and Deputy Headteacher development programmes. We also have a team of experienced staff who mentor and coach our NQTs and trainees and lead CPD both in-house and across the Trust. With our values: Respect - Endeavour - Succeed underpinning our inclusive ethos, this is an exciting opportunity to start your career in education.

Hours are negotiable but will include a minimum of 5 mornings a week, so whether you are looking for full-time or part-time, we would love to hear from you.
