Job Description:

We are looking for enthusiastic people who are motivated to share and grow in their knowledge in order to become the next generation of educators, and who are passionate about working with young people and excited to become fully accredited teachers.

At the John Taylor SCITT we pride ourselves on the support on offer to trainee teachers. You will study an intensive training year in which we will give you an opportunity to train in two different schools with highly supportive mentors who will meet with you on a weekly basis. You will also have the opportunity to gain additional experience in a special school or a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU), and a different age range of pupils to enhance your experience.

You will attend weekly training at our Training Centre, which is collaboratively planned and delivered by our in-house team of phase and subject specialists and by representatives of local schools. Secondary trainees attend weekly subject specific training with a highly skilled practitioner within their subject area, primary trainees will have a wide and varied training programme delivered by a range of colleagues from specialists within local schools.

This collaboration is key to training the people we wish to recruit; our partners are invested because they want the people that apply for jobs within their schools at the end of your programme to have received the most high-quality and relevant training.

Our trainees come from a range of different backgrounds. You may be preparing to finish your undergraduate degree or finishing a Masters, or you may have graduated many years ago and be working in a different field and would like a change in career. You may have only an A Level in the subject you wish to teach, or have opted for a degree in another subject and need to refresh your knowledge. If so, there are ways we can support you to enhance your subject knowledge and get into teaching. It’s never too late to become a teacher!
