Job Description
Trainee Teacher - Nationwide (UK)
School-Based Salaried & Tuition-Fee Routes Available
Thinking about becoming a teacher but not sure where to start?
Want hands-on classroom experience while training, not just theory?
Ready to turn your degree into a career that genuinely makes a difference?
We are working with schools across the UK to recruit ambitious graduates and career-changers into Trainee Teacher positions starting throughout the academic year. Opportunities are available nationwide - including London, the South East, Midlands, North West and beyond - across primary, secondary and specialist settings.
These are school-based teacher training routes, meaning you'll train inside a real classroom from day one, supported by experienced mentors while working towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Both salaried and tuition-fee training pathways are available, depending on location, subject and experience.
What the Trainee Teacher Role Involves:
-
Training in a school, not just at university
-
Teaching lessons under supervision while gradually increasing responsibility
-
Receiving structured mentoring, coaching and regular feedback
-
Working towards QTS (and PGCE in many cases)
-
Gaining experience in behaviour management, planning and assessment
-
Being part of a professional school staff team from day one
Why Train This Way?
-
Learn on the job with real classroom experience
-
Earn while you train (on salaried routes)
-
Strong employment prospects upon qualification
-
Tailored support and subject-specific development
-
A clear, practical route into a long-term teaching career
We support applicants at every stage - from initial application and school matching to interview preparation and securing the right training route.
