Salaried Teacher Training Programme New

Start Date: October 2026
Salary: £23,000 - £27,000 per annum
Duration: 2 Years

If you're considering a career in education but would like to gain hands-on classroom experience before stepping into teacher training, this could be the perfect opportunity.

We're working with schools across the Bournemouth area who are offering a unique salaried teacher training pathway. This two-year programme allows you to earn while you learn, gain valuable school-based experience and work towards achieving your PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Your first year is all about building confidence and understanding what life in a school is really like. You'll be working in the classroom every day, supporting pupils and developing the skills needed for a successful teaching career.

Responsibilities will include:

• Supervising classes during teacher absences
• Delivering pre-planned lessons across a range of subjects
• Supporting pupils with their learning and behaviour
• Building positive relationships with students and staff
• Developing classroom management techniques
• Gaining a strong understanding of school life and educational practice

This year provides an excellent foundation before moving into formal teacher training.

Once you've completed your first year, you'll progress onto a fully funded teacher training programme, working towards your PGCE and QTS while continuing to gain valuable classroom experience.

During your training year, you'll develop skills in:

• Planning and delivering engaging lessons
• Assessing student progress
• Classroom and behaviour management
• Adapting teaching to meet different learning needs
• Professional practice and reflective development

• Salary of £23,000 - £27,000
• Fully funded PGCE
• Support towards achieving Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Ongoing mentorship from experienced education professionals
• Practical classroom experience from day one
• A long-term route into a teaching career
• The opportunity to remain within the same school throughout the programme

We're keen to hear from graduates or career changers who are passionate about education and making a difference in young people's lives.

To be considered, you'll need:

• A Bachelor's degree (or be due to graduate)
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A positive, proactive attitude
