The successful candidate will work 30 hours per week and 38 weeks per year and will be a committed practitioner who is committed to helping students achieve their best academically as well as socially.

This is an excellent opportunity for graduates to gain experience on how students learn within a school environment if considering a career in teaching, before applying to join a Teacher Training Programme.
