Graduate Teacher Training

Future Teachers Programme – Launch Your Career in Education

Teaching Personnel is seeking enthusiastic graduates who are passionate about pursuing a career in education. Our Future Teachers Programme is designed to help you gain valuable classroom experience before undertaking formal teacher training.

If you are considering a PGCE or teacher training pathway and want practical, paid experience in a secondary school setting, this programme offers the perfect starting point.

Many teachers describe their career as one of the most rewarding and fulfilling professions. If you are confident, adaptable, and enjoy inspiring young people, teaching can offer both challenge and excitement every day — especially when sharing subjects you genuinely love.

About the Role

This position provides an excellent insight into the teaching profession without the responsibility of lesson planning or marking.
