Relevant qualification (Early Years, Childcare, or Education) at Level 3 or above.
Industry experience working with children (nursery, preschool, or reception).
Teaching qualification (or willingness to work towards one).
Strong understanding of safeguarding and child protection.

Desirable:

Experience teaching within a post‑16 or Further Education setting.

Why Work with Us

Any successful candidates will be required to complete a structured training pathway, unless they already hold the relevant qualifications. This includes a two-week teacher induction (must be completed within probation), followed by the Award in Education and Training (AET) including Assessor is required, and then the Level 5 Learning and Skills Teacher (LST) apprenticeship. Completion of this structured learning programme is expected within 3 years. Furthermore, there is the option to pursue Qualified Teacher Learning Status (QTLS).

We will be checking for any publicly available information that suggests the applicant may not be suitable to work with children or young/vulnerable people or content that could potentially damage Abingdon and Witney College’s reputation.
