About Get Into Teaching
Get out of the everyday. Get into Teaching.
Looking for a career that's anything but ordinary?
Teaching puts you at the front - where your ideas, energy and subject knowledge take centre stage.
One day you're bringing complex ideas to life. The next you're leading discussions, challenging perspectives and helping students see your subject in a new way. It's a career where creativity is part of the job, and no two days look the same.
In teaching, the floor is yours. While many graduate careers start with following someone else's plan, teaching gives you the chance to create your own. You'll build confidence, develop leadership skills and gain responsibility from the start.
Start at the front and see how far you can go. Whether you want to deepen your subject expertise, lead a department or take on wider responsibilities, teaching offers opportunities to progress and be recognised for what you achieve.
With a minimum starting salary of £32,916 (higher in London) and the opportunity to earn over £45,352 within five years, teaching is a rewarding career that offers both purpose and progression.

"If you enjoy working with people, not just children, then teaching is a great career. Not only is every day different but each day is full of positive energy and rewarding moments."
Josh Price - Science Teacher
"I love being challenged to get better every day: better at my subject, better at forming connections with others, better at explaining things. Beyond that, being able to profoundly impact so many people's lives - and have them impact on you - is an exciting privilege."
Ben Breen - Head of Mathematics
