Teaching Personnel are working across Barnsley and surrounding areas in partnership with The Astrea Academy Trust. The Astrea Academy Trust is a 25 strong Multi Academy Trust with 21 academies in South Yorkshire, covering Doncaster, Rotherham, Dearne, Barnsley and Sheffield.

We are seeking to employ Sports Graduates as part of Teaching Personnel's Future Teacher programme.

The Future Teachers programme is an initiative to help support schools across Barnsley and the surrounding areas to find their next cohort of trainee teachers, as well as supporting Sports graduates in their first steps in to a career in working in education. This is a comprehensive scheme which will enable Sports graduates to start their teacher training programmes with an advanced skill-set and comfortability working with students of mixed ages and abilities.

Whilst working as a graduate teaching assistant during the Future Teachers programme, you will hold set responsibilities which will include;

  • Providing subject knowledge and support during lessons
  • Delivering revision and booster sessions for key students in the cohort
  • Working with students on a 1-to-1 basis enabling them to access the curriculum
  • Covering full lessons under the guidance of teaching staff, including effectively managing the classroom
