About the role:

Most importantly, the post-holder will have a strong interest in our work with the drive and desire to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students.

Launched in 2013, Ark Teacher Training is a programme for committed graduates and career changers who aim to become great teachers.

With the support of an inspirational group of tutors, coaches and educational experts, the trainees have all the tools they need to perfect their craft. We understand the importance that the first few years of teaching have on a teacher’s future, so that’s why the programme also supports trainees for the following two years through our early career support.
Ark Teacher Training was judged ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by Ofsted in January 2017.
