About This Role
Mathematics Teacher Trainee
Full Time (one year)
Start date August 2026
Apply by June 2026
We are looking for both career changers and recent graduates to train as mathematics teachers.
Dulwich College is the lead school of the South London Hub of the National Maths & Physics SCITT, a school centred, subject specialised teacher training programme designed to help address the acute shortage of Maths and Physics teachers.
The SCITT approach is different to traditional teacher training in the following ways:
• Trainees on the programme are in school from day one and at the end of the year are awarded both qualified teacher status (QTS) and a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE).
• Trainees gain hands-on experience in the classroom through two contrasting school placements in our partner schools.
• The course is taught by dedicated subject experts and involves training at university and at the SCITT’s Day School at Dulwich College
• Successful applicants will receive a £29,000 tax free bursary for the training year (subject to eligibility). Trainees can take out a Student Loan if required to cover the tuition fee of £9,535.
• For trainees who left education some time ago, there are subject knowledge enhancement courses of various lengths available, for which trainees receive an additional bursary for completing.
Entry requirements for candidates are UK settled status, plus a UK first- or second-class bachelor’s degree (or overseas equivalent) in a relevant subject, in addition to a love of their subject and a desire to work with young people.
