Before you apply, you should:
Once you’re ready to apply, head to the Department for Education (DfE) application portal to complete your application.
Interviews take place with two members of the United Teaching team, either online or in person. This includes a formal interview, a mock lesson presented to the panel, and a written task.
We want to make sure there is a good fit between you and your potential placement school. In some cases, you might be invited to a second-stage school visit so we can get to know you more. We’ll let you know if this is something we’d like you to do following your interview.
If for any reason you aren't successful at either stage, we will give you feedback to help you prepare for future applications.
We’ll be in touch as soon as we can with the outcome of your interview.
United Teaching as part of United Learning Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and staff. All staff including those training to teach are expected to share this commitment. Every successful applicant receiving and accepting an offer will be required to undergo thorough pre-employment checks. These include: a Children’s Barred List, an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, a Medical Questionnaire and a Prohibition Order check. All prospective trainees will be expected to provide the names of two professional referees who will be able to provide acceptable recommendations.
As soon as these checks are done, your offer will be confirmed.
We always try to place trainees in their first choice of school. If this isn't possible, we will work with you to find a suitable alternative.
