On top of earning money, you will get personal development opportunities and learn transferable skills. Teach a subject you are enthusiastic about and lead from the front. Benefit from teaching as part of an experienced team (delivery of focus intervention groups) and on your own.

I applied for a teaching assistant role through Step into Teaching, after graduating from university and I was amazed by Neil's quick response. He proceeded by providing me with more information with regards to the job and invited me for a meeting. The process was very informative and in a relaxed environment. Neil himself was wonderful which put me at ease. After I had submitted all the required documents, an interview was arranged with the school's principal and following this, I was offered the job with immediate start.

Step into Teaching has been the best experience I've had with any agency in terms of quick service, communication, efficiency and tailoring to the applicants' needs. The overall service was simply impeccable and a highlight has been how much I was always being considered and treated with respect. I highly recommend Step into Teaching to anyone envisaging a teaching career.
