• Graduates considering a future career in teaching, education, or youth work
• Confident communicators who can lead a classroom effectively
• Individuals who can think on their feet and remain calm under pressure
• Positive role models with a genuine interest in supporting young people
• Previous experience working with children or young people is beneficial but not essential

What's on Offer?

• Valuable classroom experience in a supportive secondary school
• An excellent opportunity to explore teaching before committing to training
• Ongoing support from a specialist education recruitment consultant
• Potential pathways into teacher training and long-term school-based roles
