Everything there is to know about teaching jobs in London

There are several routes to get into the teaching occupation (specifically in schools); some first get an academic degree in education, while others start with some experience with a teaching assistant job in London after their ITT programme (see more info below). Quickly after your first real-world experience as a teacher, you’ll be able to pick up on your interests and strengths, leading to further developments in your career. Teaching doesn’t come naturally to everybody, so knowing what you like or don’t like is an important step to feeling comfortable in your role. For example, if you’re good with kids and love to get them all riled up and excited about something, you should probably apply for a primary teaching job in London. Or perhaps you have a flair for languages, and know the ins and outs of those pesky grammar and punctuation rules; then apply for an English teacher job in London or a TEFL job in London.

Whether you do or don’t have experience as a teacher, you may want to consider an alternative occupation to a teaching job in London; training. Teaching and training sound like synonyms, but they have slightly different connotations. Teaching is more theoretical and abstract, while training (when done well) is more hands-on and practical. As a (personal) trainer, you’ll be giving courses focused on a specific topic or subject to help (in most cases, employees) develop their skills. Do you want to give people the tools to improve their personal or professional skills? Consider applying for a training job in London.

Requirements for a teaching job in London

To land an education job in London (and the rest of the UK), you’ll need to gain QTS. Qualified teacher status (QTS) is a legal requirement to teach in many English schools. You will obtain this on an ITT (Initial Teacher Training) programme, which could be school or university-based and takes approximately one year to complete. Once you have finished the course, assuming you meet the standards, you will be awarded QTS and become a newly qualified teacher (NQT) ready to undertake your induction year. It’s definitely a worthwhile course if you want to take your career in teaching to the next level. So, are you ready to land that teaching job in London you’ve been dreaming of?
