Graduate Unqualified Teacher

Graduate Unqualified Teacher
Secondary Schools | Liverpool
Salary: £21,000 – £26,000 (dependent on experience) | Full-Time | 1-Year Fixed Term | September Start

This is where top graduates begin their journey into outstanding teaching.

Are you a high-achieving graduate ready to step into a role with real responsibility, rapid development, and clear career progression?

This Graduate Unqualified Teacher opportunity across secondary schools in Liverpool offers a unique chance to gain hands-on teaching experience from day one—far beyond a typical support role.

Why This Role Stands Out

These schools don’t just support graduates — they develop them into confident, capable teachers.

From your first day, you’ll be immersed in the classroom, building experience that many trainees don’t gain until much later in their training.

You will:

• Deliver lessons within your subject area (with full support and guidance)
• Take responsibility for small classes and targeted intervention groups
• Work alongside experienced teachers to refine your practice
• Develop skills in behaviour management, lesson planning, and assessment
• Build confidence quickly in a structured, high-expectation environment

This role is an ideal stepping stone into teacher training, including salaried routes or a PGCE.

The Schools

Based in Liverpool, these secondary schools are known for their strong leadership, supportive environments, and commitment to developing both students and staff.

What makes them stand out:

• Clear behaviour systems that support effective teaching
• Ambitious leadership teams focused on continuous improvement
• Strong track record of graduates progressing into teacher training
• A culture that balances support with high expectations

Who They’re Looking For

This role is designed for graduates who want more than a typical entry-level position:

• A 2:1 or First-Class degree (ideally in a core or high-demand subject such as English, Maths, Science, or Humanities)
• Confidence, presence, and a willingness to take initiative
• A genuine interest in teaching and working with young people
• Strong communication skills and a proactive attitude
• Resilience, ambition, and a growth mindset

What You’ll Gain

• Competitive salary (£21,000 – £26,000 depending on experience)
• Valuable classroom experience from day one
• A clear pathway into teacher training (including salaried routes)
• Ongoing mentorship from experienced teachers and school leaders
• A role that will accelerate your career in education

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for an easy role, this isn’t it.

But if you want challenge, rapid development, and a genuine pathway into teaching, this Graduate Unqualified Teacher role in Liverpool is exactly the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
