Teach First

Teach First is a charity that believes education is the most powerful tool to help a child fulfil their potential. We train teachers in schools in the most deprived areas of the country, making sure no child is left behind.

Our paid teacher Training Programme is your chance to become a leader and build a career you can be proud of.

You’ll put your existing skills into action and lead a class from day one. You’ll advance in ways you never imagined. All while giving children facing the biggest barriers the chance to reach their full potential.

We also offer a number of undergraduate opportunities so you can find out what the Training Programme is really all about

What can Teach First offer you?

How about a stable career? Where no two days are the same. Where you’ll learn skills that will take you anywhere. Where you’ll learn to lead, all whilst being paid from day one.

How about community? A network - 16,000 strong, made up of teachers, professionals and industry leaders. Who will support you on your journey.

How about purpose? The chance to change the lives of the young people our society is failing. To power their potential.

We are making a difference

Since 2003, we’ve placed more than 16,000 teachers in low-income areas, and our Training Programme was recently rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
