Graduate Trainee Teacher Apprentice

4 weeks ago

Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

Clyst Vale is a thriving and vibrant 11 - 18 Community College situated five miles from Exeter. Visitors to Clyst Vale usually comment on the friendly, orderly atmosphere, the courtesy of our students and the purposefulness in lessons. We have clear expectations and systems, but far more important are the excellent working relationships we establish between staff and students, as well as staff and parents. We remain the only Secondary school in Devon to be accredited Gold Rights Respecting School status.

This is an exciting opportunity to enter the profession and gain significant teaching experience while studying to become a fully qualified teaching professional.

The Graduate Trainee Teacher role, in conjunction with the Graduate Teacher Programme and Buckinghamshire University, offers talented and motivated graduates the chance to study towards the full range of professional teaching qualifications while gaining significant on the job and classroom experience and earning a competitive salary which reflects your prior academic success. On completion of the apprenticeship, you will hold a PGTA (level 6) or PGCE (level 7) academic teaching qualification, QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) allowing you to practice in the UK and abroad and a teaching apprenticeship as well as having a minimum of 600 hours of teaching experience. Unlike traditional taught routes into teaching, you will be a fully-fledged member of the school community from day one, acting as both lead teacher and tutor to students and being involved in all areas of school life.

At Clyst Vale, people matter. Therefore, we strive for the highest possible academic and other standards so that students fulfil their potential; equally, we are committed to being a caring college and producing the excellent citizens of tomorrow. Clyst Vale is a Good school with a proud tradition of serving the local community and is a college where pupils “have respectful relationships with staff and with their peers...develop a strong sense of community and take an active part in the life of the school” (Ofsted 2023). We have a proven track record of training and developing new entrants to the profession to a high standard, with many of our trainees and Early Career Teachers rapidly moving into leadership positions both within the college and wider profession.

To support your development to become a highly skilled teaching practitioner, we will provide a dedicated subject specialist mentor to coach you in all aspects of your teaching practice, time off timetable each week to engage in your post-graduate academic study and regular professional studies and development sessions with a member of our senior leadership team. We will further support your development by ensuring you gain an extended placement in a different school and have access to expertise and opportunities across the wider educational community, allowing you to gain a deep understanding of education across the age and stage range and in different school settings.

We are seeking applications from graduates with a or above in Sciences, Computing, Mathematics, Spanish, French, Design Technology or a related discipline. It is not vital that your first degree is in the subject that you intend to teach, but additional training may be needed to enhance your subject knowledge if it is not. Experience working in an educational setting with children and young people will be a benefit, but most important to us is your outlook and drive to continually improve. Teaching is a highly rewarding career choice, but it is one which requires you to hold yourself to the highest of standards, to be self-motivated and work independently and to continually reflect on your practice and how you can succeed. Successful applicants for this program will be resilient, reflective and driven to succeed in everything they do.

What you can expect from us:
• Dedicated subject and reflective mentors to support your learning and development;
• Sponsorship to ensure you complete the program fully qualified, both academically and professionally, and are able to take up a permanent position in education immediately;
• A comprehensive induction process, tailored to your role and previous experience;
• A structured programme of targeted, whole school or bespoke professional development in addition to your university and apprenticeship courses;
• Fabulous students who are motivated, interested, keen to learn and enthusiastic;
• An outstanding ethos where students achieve, have a strong sense of belonging and participate in learning, enrichment and the community;
• A high-quality curriculum, developed across our college, with a commitment to a programme of school improvement;
• A range of development opportunities for future career progression within the Trust;
• Opportunities to work with, and in, other schools;
• Friendship, support and interaction with a vibrant and caring staff team with a commitment to improving children’s lives;
• Strong leadership, a culture of high expectation and clarity of strategic college development.

We would recommend that you contact us for an informal conversation to find out more about the role, or to visit us at Clyst Vale. In order to do this, please contact Lisa Martin, Deputy Principal, by emailing .

This will include details of ALL cautions, reprimands or final warnings, as well as convictions, whether “spent” or “unspent”.
