Description du poste

Key Details

• Graduate Unqualified Teacher
• Schools across London
• £25,000–£30,000 salary
• September 2026 start
• Full-time, long-term position
• Initial contract for the academic year
• Opportunity to progress into teacher training/QTS
• Deliver lessons across KS3 and KS4
• Excellent training and mentoring from experienced teachers
• Gain genuine classroom teaching experience
• Ideal stepping stone towards becoming a qualified teacher

What Will You Be Doing?

Unlike a traditional Teaching Assistant role, this position will give you the opportunity to develop real classroom teaching experience.

Initially, you will observe outstanding practitioners, support lessons and learn the school's curriculum, behaviour systems and teaching strategies.

As your confidence develops, you will begin to plan and deliver lessons, lead classes, provide intervention sessions and take greater responsibility for pupil progress.

Other responsibilities

• Delivering pre-planned lessons
• Planning your own engaging lessons
• Leading small-group academic interventions
• Supporting GCSE preparation
• Providing subject‑specific tuition
• Managing classroom behaviour
• Assessing pupil progress
• Working alongside experienced Heads of Department
• Participating in school CPD and teacher development

Who Are KPI Education Looking For?

We are particularly interested in graduates with strong academic backgrounds in: Maths | Physics | Chemistry | Biology | English | History | Geography | Languages | Computer Science | Economics | Psychology

You should ideally have a 2:1 or First-Class degree from a strong UK university and be able to demonstrate a genuine commitment to becoming an outstanding educator. Previous school experience is advantageous but not essential. Academic ability, communication skills, resilience and genuine enthusiasm for working with young people are equally important.

Why Become an Unqualified Teacher?

If you are serious about teaching, spending an academic year working within a school can give you an invaluable head start. You will understand the realities of classroom teaching, develop behaviour‑management techniques and build relationships with pupils before potentially progressing into teacher training from September 2027. For the strongest graduates, there may be opportunities to train within the school and continue your career there as a qualified teacher.
