Trainee Jobs

Novices entering the teaching profession often offer a fresh approach that impresses more experienced individuals. Trainee teachers, either recently qualified or those looking for a career change, are in demand at schools all over the UK to assist with the process of educating the nation’s youngsters.
Applicants need to show strong self-discipline, be able to express themselves clearly and show a dedication to the profession that is not always required in other less challenging ones. Candidates are often required to give a demonstration lesson which has been prepared well and is delivered in a competent and fun style.
Individuals seeking employment as a trainee teacher will preferably hold a BEd or a BA/BSc with PGCE and QTS qualifications. Unqualified teachers with experience in IT, administration, retail or customer services can also find employment in this field. Some schools and teacher agencies offer eager candidates training and assistance with gaining the necessary teacher licenses and qualifications.
Novice teachers can expect an annual starting salary of £21,500, with a loading of £5,000 in Inner London. Positions can be found in most parts of the UK, but obviously the bigger cities have a wider choice.
