This role offers an excellent opportunity for someone with experience leading groups of young people to take on a classroom-based position and make a positive contribution to students’ education.

As an Unqualified Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering lessons that have been planned by the class teacher. You will supervise the class, explain the work set, answer questions where appropriate, and ensure that all students remain on task. The role will involve managing behaviour in line with the school’s policies, fostering a respectful and calm learning environment, and encouraging pupils to take pride in their work.
