Teach First is an extremely selective programme that requires individuals who are not only academically gifted but also possess the ability to thrive in the most challenging of circumstances. 

In this section, find out more about who we are looking for and what you can expect from the recruitment process.

  

Application Deadlines

2009 Entry:

If you are interested in becoming an inspirational leader and contributing to the Teach First Mission then please apply now.

We have two deadlines for applications, a winter deadline of 5th December 2008 and a final deadline of 3rd April 2009.

It is strongly recommended that you apply early.

Unfortunately we are not able to accept applications from international candidates requiring work permits.

Please Note: Due to an unprecedented number of applications since opening places for the 2009 programme, we are currently unable to receive further applications from candidates who are only able to teach Art, Citizenship, Geography, History and Religious Education.

Changes to TDA requirements to teach last year meant that a good number of 2008 participants are successfully teaching subjects based on their A level rather than degree level knowledge. Therefore, if you had wanted to apply for History we encourage you to evaluate the other options available to you.  If you have received an A or B at A Level in one of our other teaching subjects you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible.

If you have any questions please email faq@teachfirst.org.uk.
