Teacher jobs in United Kingdom

Are you a geography graduate ready to inspire the next generation? Begin your journey as a Phase One Trainee Teacher through Grad2Teach’s salaried teacher training programme in a high-achieving secondary school in Orpington, Kent (BR6).

As a graduate trainee, you’ll gain hands‑on classroom experience supporting geography lessons while working towards a Level 4 qualification. This structured route allows you to earn while you train, building your confidence and teaching skills in a supportive environment before progressing to Phase Two, where you’ll complete a PGCE with QTS through Coventry University.

This is the perfect opportunity for an aspiring teacher passionate about geography, sustainability, and helping students understand the world around them.

You’ll be a motivated graduate trainee or career changer with a strong academic background in geography or a related subject. You should be:

• Enthusiastic about education and child development
• Professional, reliable, and eager to learn
• Ready to contribute to a dynamic school community
• Committed to developing into an outstanding teacher through our salaried teacher training route

Previous classroom or youth work experience is beneficial but not essential — a genuine desire to teach and inspire is what matters most.

Through the Grad2Teach two-phase model, you’ll follow a structured, school-based pathway to qualification:

Phase One

Paid, in‑school experience supporting teaching and learning

Completion of a Level 4 NCFE Customised Qualification focused on classroom practice and pedagogy

Development mapped to the Core Content Framework (CCF) and Teachers’ Standards

Phase Two

Transition into full teaching responsibility

Complete a PGCE with QTS through Coventry University

Supported by mentors, observations, and reflective practice sessions

This approach ensures you gain the experience, confidence, and credentials to begin your career as a qualified geography teacher.
