Start Your Teaching Career While You Earn

Are you considering a career in teaching but want to gain meaningful classroom experience before beginning formal teacher training?

Our two-year salaried teacher training programme gives you the opportunity to work in a school, earn a salary and develop the practical skills and confidence needed to become a qualified teacher.

You’ll spend both years working within the same school, building strong relationships with pupils and staff while gaining a genuine understanding of school life.

Year 1 – Cover Supervisor

Your first year is designed to give you a strong foundation in the classroom before progressing into formal teacher training.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will:

• Supervise classes and deliver prepared lessons
• Support pupils with their learning and development
• Develop effective classroom management skills
• Build positive relationships with pupils
• Work alongside experienced teachers and school staff
• Gain experience across different year groups and abilities
• Develop your confidence in managing a classroom
• Gain a realistic insight into the responsibilities of a teacher

Year 2 – Trainee Teacher

Following your first year, you’ll progress into formal teacher training, completing your PGCE and working towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

You’ll take on increasing responsibility for planning and delivering lessons while continuing to receive mentoring and support.

You will develop your skills in:

• Lesson planning and delivery
• Assessment and pupil progress
• Classroom and behaviour management
• Differentiation and inclusive teaching
• Supporting pupils with different needs
• Developing engaging learning activities
• Reflective practice and professional development
• Working effectively with colleagues and the wider school community

What We Offer

• £23,000–£26,000 salary
• Fully funded PGCE
• Opportunity to work towards QTS
• Two years based within the same school
• Extensive practical classroom experience
• Dedicated mentoring and professional support

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for enthusiastic, committed and motivated individuals who are passionate about working with young people and want to build a long-term career in education.

You’ll need:

• A Bachelor’s degree
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• A positive and resilient attitude
• The ability to build positive relationships with young people
• A genuine interest in education and teaching
• Motivation to learn and develop professionally
• Commitment to the full two-year programme
• Commitment to working in Warrington

Previous experience working with children or young people is beneficial, but the programme is designed to help you develop the classroom experience and confidence needed to progress into teaching.

Why Choose This Programme?

Rather than moving straight into teacher training, you’ll spend a full year experiencing school life and developing your classroom skills before progressing into formal training.

You’ll earn while you learn, gain valuable experience, receive support from experienced colleagues and work towards becoming a qualified teacher.

Gain experience. Earn a salary. Train to teach.
