Moorcroft School is looking to appoint a trainee teacher (UQT) from September 2026.
You will be expected to deliver a teaching timetable of 80% of the school week under the direction of an experienced teacher. You will receive regular training by the school and from Eden People.
During the first year you will be expected to be following a recognised and fully accredited course leading directly to Qualified Teacher Status.
The successful candidate/s must be a graduate/s and must have the relevant qualifications in English and Maths.
If you are pursuing a primary qualification, you will also need the relevant science qualification.
We will also consider candidates who have a recognised overseas teachers’ qualification.
Please see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/recruit-teachers-from-overseas for further details.
Your contract will initially be for 12 months and will be extended to an additional 12 months upon successfully gaining QTS.
In the event of the termination of your trainee teacher contract you will be entitled to return to your TA post if this was the post you held prior.
Safeguarding
The Trust is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff and volunteers to uphold this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
Diversity
At Eden Academy Trust, we value and actively embrace diversity. We believe that a diverse school community strengthens learning, enriches experiences, and helps every child thrive.
Across our schools, we are committed to creating a culture where all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or background are respected, represented, and supported.
We understand the role of inclusive education in preparing young people for a complex and diverse society. We challenge discrimination, recognise and celebrate difference, and work continuously to promote equity and opportunity in everything we do.
Our commitment to inclusion runs through our curriculum, our staffing and leadership, our policies, and our day-to-day interactions. We strive to practise cultural humility, anti-racism, and equitable approaches that meet the needs of all our pupils.
