Summary

Restart Your Career with a New Sense of Purpose

Location: Cranleigh, Surrey

Salary: £23,000 PA Pro rata (£26458 FTE)

Whether you've taken a break for family or are looking to re-enter the workforce in a meaningful way, our Trainee Teacher role offers the structure and support you need to succeed.

  • Comprehensive Onboarding: You won't be thrown in the deep end. We provide extensive internal training and a "learn as you earn" model.

  • Balanced Environment: Work in a beautiful, calm Surrey setting with a team that values holistic wellbeing-both for students and staff.

  • The Requirements: We value your life experience. A degree is preferred, but a heart for social care and strong communication skills are what truly matter.

The Role

As a Trainee Teacher, you won't be thrown into the deep end alone. You will work 1:1 or in small groups with students, learning to implement bespoke educational and behavioural programs.

  • Learn as You Earn: Gain hands-on experience in Special Educational Needs (SEN) while receiving comprehensive internal training.

  • Behavioural Expertise: Master the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to support communication and life skills.

  • Collaborative Growth: Work alongside Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists to provide holistic support.

What We're Looking For
  • Passion over Experience: You don't need a teaching degree yet. We value personality, patience, and a genuine desire to support young people with complex needs.

  • Resilience: The ability to remain calm and positive in challenging situations.

  • Communication: Strong verbal and written skills for reporting on student progress.

  • Education: A degree is preferred (ideally in Psychology or Education), but we welcome candidates with strong A-Levels and a heart for social care.

Why Join Us?

"The best part of this job is seeing a student master a skill they've struggled with for years. You aren't just teaching a curriculum; you're providing a voice."

  • Career Progression: Clear pathways towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Board Certified Assistant Behaviour Analyst (BCaBA) roles.

  • Supportive Environment: High staff-to-pupil ratios and a culture of peer support.

  • Location: Based in the beautiful Surrey countryside with onsite parking.
