Graduate Teaching Assistant

Are you interested in a career in education? Do you have experience working with young people? Do you hold a degree and possess a passion for teaching others? Can't afford to pay high tuition fee's to gain a teaching qualification?

We would love to hear from you!

Teaching Personnel are currently working with a number of successful secondary academies throughout Hull and The East Riding of Yorkshire who are looking for graduates to work on a teacher training programme. This programme allows you to complete a paid introduction year working in a variety of roles within a secondary academy, before entering their teacher training course and earning qualified teacher status.

Initially the role would involve taking a full and active part in the life of the schools, taking on a small teaching timetable and taking part in classroom observations of lessons. You would also receive mentoring from outstanding and leading edge practitioners and comprehensive CPD programmes designed by the schools on an individual basis. This would lead to classroom teaching in one of our partner schools, with on-going support throughout the programme.

Whilst experience working in schools isn't essential, you will need to demonstrate the ability to build professional relationships with both adults and students, you will need to be positive, flexible and charismatic and be able to manage a classroom and busy teaching timetable. The ability to cope under pressure is essential and the continuity of placements is subject to a successful 3 month probationary period (with regular performance reviews during this period). Rather than paying tuition fee's, you will be paid to take part in this programme! Starting wages will be between £55 and £80 per day depending on your qualifications and experience.

This is an opportunity not to be missed. If you are interested in applying or discussing further, please contact Jim Mckenzie as soon as possible with a copy of your CV and covering letter explaining why you believe you are suitable for the post.
