  • Trainers and Assessors who are confident delivering information, leading groups, and adapting their communication style to different audiences.
  • Tutors who are looking to transition from one-to-one or small-group support into a classroom setting.

If you've ever considered a career in teaching but want to see whether it's the right fit before undertaking a PGCE or formal teacher training, this role offers the perfect opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a secondary school while developing valuable classroom management and teaching skills. It allows you to make a real difference to young people's education while exploring a rewarding and potentially long-term career path.
