PK Education are looking for an Unqualified Teacher to work on a full-time supply basis across secondary schools in Rotherham from September.

This role is aimed at somebody who already has strong experience in the classroom but does not hold QTS. You may be an experienced Cover Supervisor, overseas-trained teacher, instructor, graduate, or somebody with a background in education who is ready to take on more responsibility.

• A professional and consistent approach

This is a great option for somebody considering teacher training or looking to gain further classroom experience before progressing towards QTS.
