“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge” Albert Einstein.
Ever considered a teaching career in Further Education (FE)?
Working in FE really makes a difference to the individuals you are teaching. All sorts of students come through the door of an FE college: the 16 year old who senses that it’s time to leave school, the adult facing unemployment who wants to retrain to find a job, the speaker looking to master English or the individual who wants to follow a vocation rather than take a degree. They all have an eye on their future and this job will help them achieve their goals.
People continue to need quality teaching throughout their lives and as a FE teacher you would work with a broad cross section of people of different ages, abilities and circumstances.
We are offering a new and exciting opportunity to train while you earn as a Trainee Teacher at Shipley College. We are looking for a range of Trainees - you will receive a salary for two years while studying part time, at no cost to you.
What are the benefits of the Trainee Teacher role?
You will be employed by Shipley College and paid a wage throughout the course
Trainee Teachers will gain either a PGCE, or Cert Ed qualification if you do not have a degree, without needing to pay fees (currently £7,500).
Trainee Teachers will gain a head start in their chosen profession
How does a Trainee Teacher role work?
This position combines working with studying part-time at the College. Trainee Teachers are employed throughout the 2 year programme, taking on an 80% workload while dedicating the rest of their time to developing their teaching practice. You will finish the period as a fully qualified post-16 teacher, once your qualification is achieved. Shipley College will help you identify an appropriate work-based mentor who can support you in your subject specialism.
