Graduate Unqualified Teacher
London
£26,500 – £32,000 (1-Year Fixed Term Contract)
Full-Time | September 2026 Start
This is where it starts…
* Thinking about teaching but not ready to commit to a PGCE just yet?
* Want to earn, learn, and build real classroom experience before training?
* Ready to step into a school where you’re treated like a teacher — not just extra support?
This is not your typical graduate role.
KPI Education are working with a number of forward-thinking secondary schools across London offering ambitious graduates the opportunity to step into a Graduate Unqualified Teacher position from September.
This is your chance to test yourself at the front of a classroom, gain invaluable experience, and fast-track your journey into teaching.
What makes this role different?
You won’t be stuck on the sidelines.
* You’ll be leading lessons, not just observing
* You’ll gain real teaching experience from day one
* You’ll be supported by experienced teachers and mentors
* You’ll have a clear pathway into teacher training (PGCE / Schools Direct)
This is a launchpad, not a holding position.
The role:
* Deliver lessons across your subject specialism (with support)
* Build confidence managing a classroom and engaging students
* Support pupils of all abilities to make progress
* Work closely with departments and senior staff to develop your teaching practice
What you’ll gain:
* A competitive salary (£25,500 – £32,000)
* Hands-on teaching experience in a supportive environment
* A full academic year to build your skillset before training
* Strong references and progression into salaried teacher training routes
* A genuine insight into whether teaching is the right long-term career for you
Who this is for:
* Graduates with a 2:1 or above (or predicted)
* Strong A-Levels and academic background
* Confident, proactive individuals who want to step up
* Aspiring teachers looking for a practical route into education
Let’s be honest…
* Could you stand in front of a class and hold their attention?
* Do you have the confidence to lead, explain, and inspire?
* Are you ready to challenge yourself in a fast-paced, rewarding environment?
This is the role people wish they had before jumping into teacher training.
