About the Role

Are you a graduate looking to begin your journey into teaching? This exciting Phase One salaried teacher training opportunity in Bedfordshire allows you to gain first-hand classroom experience while working towards a nationally recognised Level 4 qualification in Education and Training.

As a Phase One English trainee, you’ll support lessons, lead small groups, and gradually build your teaching skills – all while receiving structured training through the Grad2Teach programme. Our carefully designed pathway ensures you can develop your classroom confidence without the pressure of a full timetable from day one.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Supporting English lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4.
  • Leading targeted interventions to raise literacy and communication skills.
  • Working alongside experienced teachers and mentors to develop your teaching practice.
  • Progressing through our Level 4 qualification, giving you a solid foundation in pedagogy, behaviour management, and subject delivery.

Why choose the Grad2Teach programme?

  • Salaried training: Earn while you train.
  • Blended learning: Training delivered outside of contact hours, designed around the Teaching Standards and Core Content Framework.
  • Level 4 qualification: Gain recognised credits to strengthen your progression into teaching.
  • Pathway to full QTS and PGCE: After Phase One, you can progress into Phase Two, where you’ll teach your own classes and work towards QTS and a PGCE with our university partner.
  • Supportive mentoring: Work in partnership with experienced educators to develop into a confident teacher.

Who we’re looking for:

  • Graduates with a strong academic background (English-related degree desirable).
  • Passionate about education and keen to inspire young people.
  • Excellent communication skills and a proactive, professional attitude.
  • GCSEs in English and Maths (or willingness to obtain them during Phase One).

This is the perfect opportunity for ambitious graduates who want to make a real difference while building their career in education.

Training Provided: Level 4 qualification in Education and Training, with clear progression to QTS and PGCE
