Explore a Path into Teaching

Not ready to start your teacher training just yet? No problem! There are many rewarding roles in education to consider while you prepare, such as Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Room Specialist, or Learning Mentor. These positions provide valuable experience in the classroom and can help you decide if a career in teaching is right for you.

If you’ve already accepted a place on our teacher training program, you’re in a great position to explore short-term roles in schools. Many schools are happy to offer temporary contracts knowing you’re on the path to becoming a teacher. In fact, we often find that schools request to host trainees they’ve already worked with because of the relationships you’ve built and the positive impression you’ve made.

Take the first step in your journey to teaching today with Southwest Teacher Training!

Across the Ted Wragg Trust there may be roles in education you could consider before or after you have applied to train with us. Please see the list of Trust wide jobs below, which are a great way of getting to understand school life.
