Graduate looking to get into Teaching? Future Teacher Programme

Graduate Teaching Assistant - Future Teachers Programme

Teaching Personnel are currently recruiting graduates ahead of September 2019 who are considering a career in primary or secondary teaching in the future.

Our future teachers programme allows you not only to secure employment as a teaching assistant following the completion of your degree, but it is a clear and concise pathway onto a school based initial teacher training programme. This programme allows you to gain the necessary experience required to be confident and successful when you do decide to begin your teacher training.

This programme involves working as a teaching assistant on a 12 month basis (from September 2019) within one of our client schools located in Cornwall prior to beginning your teacher training programme in September 2020.

** Applicants must hold a degree or be in the process of completing your degree (final year) and be looking to pursue a career in education ***

• Full time Graduate teaching assistant role for 12 months - Followed by introduction to a SCITT programme at a local training school
• Over 20 places available across the whole of Cornwall with different school alliances
• Opportunities for all graduates pursuing a career in primary and secondary education
• Paid up to £1200 a month for the first 12 months whilst gaining essential and invaluable experience as a teaching assistant

Throughout the Future Teachers placement you will initially work within a teaching assistant capacity whereby you will work on-site at one of our client schools and support pupils in a range of areas and subjects (predominately your subject specialism). This will be a full time role with an allocated school in Cornwall where you will undertake a variety of tasks and activities that will give you a good understanding as to the role of a teacher. A significant proportion of these tasks and activities will also benefit your subject knowledge as you will focus on raising pupil attainment, supporting special needs pupils, covering classes, assisting with planning, preparing lessons and developing schemes of work.

Responsibilities within the graduate teaching assistant role include providing;

• Cover Supervisor work where you will experience covering lessons and classroom management
