You will be working for a national charity on their supported internship programme. These are set up to provide classroom-based teaching to young people around employability and functional skills (you don’t need to have taught this previously). The young people then go onto work experience placements with employers where they get constant support throughout the whole process.

It’s a varied role. Working with learners around their needs. Delivering great schemes of work and also interacting with employers. So, you get to see the end result.

Salary

• £30, 395 – if you have aLevel 5 teaching qualification(QTS, PGCE, DTLLS, etc.)

• £28, 143 – if you have aLevel 3 teaching qualification(e.g. AET Level 3 / PTLLS) with solid teaching experience, ideally involving functional skills. After 6 months, the charity will fund your Level 5 qualification.
