We are offering 4 graduate internships for 2025/26. This is an excellent opportunity to explore a career in teaching through gaining hands on experience in the classroom alongside participation in our graduate programme. Our programme comprises a blend of face-to-face modules to develop teaching skills as well as modules to develop your leadership and management capability which can be applied to any future career. You will be based in one of our 7 schools within Coventry and there will be opportunities to visit other schools and to participate in bespoke training.

Through our teaching internship, you’ll receive support and training from our highly experienced Trust and school leaders.

A strong candidate should demonstrate excellent communication skills; have a proactive, enthusiastic attitude and good subject knowledge. A strength in science would be particularly advantageous. Successful candidates will show a commitment to supporting young people and raising standards, along with organisational and collaborative skills.

Teaching is a career that shapes you, as much as it does others, where no two days are the same, and where you can turn your passion into your profession. As a teacher, you can bring creativity to the classroom every day, and in turn have a lasting impact; inspiring the next generation.

In teaching, as you grow, so does your career. Opportunities for progression are varied and with added responsibilities you can expect additional pay rewards.

Once qualified, a career in teaching has a starting salary of £31,650 minimum and the opportunity to earn £43,607 minimum within 5 years. Teachers have 13 weeks paid holiday and a very generous employer pension contribution.
