The NIoT exists to boost the quality of teacher and leader development nationally by generating and interpreting research, applying the insights to the design and delivery of high-quality teacher and school leader development programmes, and sharing it all with the sector. We are building a school-led movement, and in order to deliver on our mission, we need a great team.

About the Role

As an ITE Tutor, you will lead the development of trainee teachers to competence and expertise by the end of their initial training year, ensuring that trainees effectively develop their practice, culminating in recommendation of QTS and also academically with the award of a PGCE.

You will design and deliver the curriculum and monitor its application and implementation in schools by trainees, supported by their mentors, fostering professional relationships with schools and mentors to ensure trainee success and the success of the pupils you serve.

You will also review the progress of cohorts to enhance their success and to feed into continuous improvement at a programme level, and in the partnership with placement schools. You will contribute to promoting the NIoT ITE programme and will also be involved in recruitment of trainees. As we are a small and growing team, tutors may also support the delivery of aspects of our other programmes, subject to business need.
