Graduate Unqualified Teacher

Graduate Unqualified Teacher

Exceptional Secondary School – Brent, Inner London
Salary: £27,000 – £30,000 | Full-Time | 1-Year Fixed Term | September Start

This is where top graduates become outstanding teachers.

If you’re a high-achieving graduate ready to step into a role with real responsibility, rapid development, and serious career progression, this Graduate Unqualified Teacher position in a leading Brent secondary school is in a league of its own.

Forget photocopying and passive observation — this is a front-line teaching role designed to accelerate your journey into education.

Why This Role Stands Out

This school doesn’t just “support” graduates — it builds them into teachers.

From day one, you’ll be immersed in the classroom, gaining the kind of experience most trainees don’t see until months into training.

You will:

• Deliver lessons across your subject (with full support and training)
• Take ownership of small classes and intervention groups
• Work alongside outstanding teachers to refine your practice
• Develop skills in behaviour management, planning, and assessment
• Build confidence quickly in a high-expectation environment

This is the perfect launchpad into salaried teacher training or a PGCE.

The School

Located in Brent, this is a high-performing, fast-improving secondary school with a reputation for developing talent — both students and staff.

What makes it special:

• A culture of high expectations and no-nonsense behaviour systems
• Strong academic outcomes and ambitious leadership
• A track record of graduates progressing into teaching and leadership roles
• A supportive but high-performance environment where you’ll be pushed to improve

Who They’re Looking For

This is aimed at top graduates who want more than an average role:

• 2:1 or First-Class degree from a strong university
• A degree in a core subject or high-demand area (English, Maths, Science, Humanities)
• Confidence, presence, and a willingness to step up
• A genuine interest in teaching and working with young people
• Resilience, drive, and a growth mindset

What You’ll Gain

• £27,000 – £30,000 salary
• Unmatched classroom experience from day one
• A clear pathway into teacher training (often salaried routes)
• Mentorship from experienced teachers and leaders
• A role that will fast-track your career in education

The Bottom Line

If you want safe and easy, this isn’t it.
If you want challenge, growth, and real opportunity — this is exactly where you need to be.

Apply now — roles at this level attract serious competition.
