By joining us, you will provide ongoing support to schools, ultimately improving the outcomes of our pupils.

The Role

We have an opportunity for 2 graduates to join our programme starting in September.

At the end of the two-year training programme, depending upon the performance of the trainee and the availability of suitable vacancies, our trainees will be offered permanent roles within a Central Office team.

Supported by experienced members of the team and having a designated mentor you will find that you will always have access to advice and support.

You will be based in either our London or Peterborough office and will spend some time in one or more of our schools so there will be an element of travel.

At United Learning, we look for more than just your academic results and will assess your application on a number of different factors. We are looking for ambitious, resilient and motivated candidates who have a strong work ethic and the desire and potential to develop. We also strive to be an inclusive workplace and value diversity in our team. We welcome applications from minority ethnic colleagues and from majority ethnic colleagues who share our commitment to race equality in the education workforce.
