Trainee Teacher of BTEC Business Studies

At Birkenhead Sixth Form College, we’re passionate about teaching and creating a positive, progressive environment for both our students and staff.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to train to teach BTEC Business Studies at one of the best Sixth Form Colleges in the country. We are seeking a strong Business graduate who is very passionate about the subject and is interested in pursuing a career as a teacher. You will be well supported by a large team of experienced teachers and given a reduced timetable to support you in your marking and planning. This lighter timetable will enable you to observe best practice of other teachers and learn the craft of teaching.

You will be supported on the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a Post Graduate Teacher Apprenticeship (PGTA) over a 12-month programme. The GTP includes the opportunity to gain a PGCE. This comprehensive academic programme will be delivered online by the University of Buckingham, the largest provider of teacher training apprenticeships in the UK. It will include 20 afternoon remote university lectures; monthly online meetings and termly visits to schools.
