You'll earn a salary from the start, work alongside experienced teachers and build your confidence in the classroom, with the opportunity to work towards your PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

• Managing classroom behaviour and keeping students engaged
• Building positive relationships with pupils and colleagues
• Working alongside experienced teachers and support staff

Throughout the year, you'll develop the confidence and practical skills you'll need to take the next step into teaching.

Following a successful first year, you'll progress into formal teacher training and work towards your PGCE and QTS.

You'll continue gaining hands-on classroom experience while developing your skills in:

• Planning and delivering lessons
• Classroom and behaviour management
• Assessing pupil progress
• Adapting lessons for different abilities and learning needs
• Building your confidence as a classroom teacher
• Developing your professional teaching practice

• £23,000 - £26,000 salary
• Fully funded PGCE
• The opportunity to work towards QTS
• Practical classroom experience from day one
• Training and support from experienced education professionals
• A structured two-year route into teaching
• The opportunity to develop your career within a school environment

This opportunity could be a great fit if you're:

• A recent graduate exploring teaching as a career
• A career changer looking to move into education
• Confident communicating and working with young people
• Positive, resilient and comfortable taking on responsibility
• Keen to learn and develop professionally
• Genuinely interested in making a difference in education

You'll need to hold a Bachelor's degree and be able to commit to the full two-year programme in the Banbury area.
