Are you a Food and Nutrition graduate who would like to turn your specialist knowledge into a rewarding teaching career?

This opportunity allows you to earn a salary of £28,000–£32,000 while completing your teacher training. Your salary will be paid directly by the school, meaning you can develop your teaching skills in a real classroom without following an unpaid training route.

About Initial Teacher Training

Initial Teacher Training, commonly known as ITT, is the professional training through which graduates develop the knowledge, skills and practical experience needed to become effective teachers.

As a salaried ITT trainee, you will be based in the school and become part of its teaching team from the beginning. You will gradually take on teaching responsibilities as your confidence and experience grow, with support from experienced colleagues throughout the programme.

• Completing structured professional development and training sessions
• Working closely with an experienced subject mentor

The programme will combine practical classroom experience with the professional study required as part of teacher training. You will receive regular mentoring and protected development time, helping you build your skills in a structured and supportive environment.

Unlike a traditional university-led training route, this salaried pathway enables you to earn while you train and apply what you learn directly in the classroom. It is particularly suitable for graduates who are ready to begin working in a school and want to develop through practical experience.

About the school

The school serves a diverse community and is committed to ensuring that every pupil receives an excellent education. It provides a positive and inclusive environment where pupils are encouraged to work hard, develop confidence and achieve their potential.

Food and Nutrition plays an important role in helping pupils develop practical skills and understand the connection between food, health and wellbeing. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to share their specialist knowledge and make the subject engaging, relevant and accessible.

Staff benefit from a collaborative culture, clear expectations and a strong commitment to professional development. As a trainee teacher, you will join a supportive team that understands the importance of high-quality mentoring during the early stages of a teaching career.

The school is based in Wandsworth, near Clapham Junction, and benefits from excellent transport links across London.

The role

You will:

• Train to become a confident and effective Food and Nutrition teacher
• Support and deliver engaging theoretical and practical lessons
• Use your specialist degree knowledge to inspire and educate pupils
• Promote an understanding of nutrition, healthy lifestyles and informed food choices

• Develop your lesson-planning, assessment and behaviour-management skills
• Work closely with experienced teachers and a dedicated mentor
• Take on increasing classroom responsibility as your training progresses
• Contribute to the wider life of the school
• Continue developing within a permanent, school-based position

The ideal candidate

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds a degree in Food and Nutrition, Nutrition or a closely related subject
• Has a genuine desire to train as a teacher
• Is passionate about food, nutrition, health and education

• Is confident supporting both classroom-based and practical activities
• Is organised, reflective and open to feedback
• Demonstrates resilience, initiative and a willingness to learn

Oxbridge Graduate Academic Mentor

Graduating from Oxford or Cambridge and looking for a role where your academic background can genuinely change a young person's trajectory?

Could you mentor ambitious students aiming for Oxbridge, Russell Group universities and highly competitive degree courses?

Want a rewarding graduate role in London that gives you exceptional experience before teaching, academia, psychology or another professional career?

KPI Education is searching for an Oxford or Cambridge graduate to join an outstandingly ambitious London secondary school and sixth form as an Oxbridge Graduate Academic Mentor.

This is not your typical Teaching Assistant vacancy.

The school wants an academically exceptional graduate who can become a mentor, role model and source of inspiration for students with the potential to attend Britain's most competitive universities.

Why This Role Could Be Perfect for You

• £26,000–£30,000 salary / minimum £550 per week
• Full-time position for the 2026/27 academic year
• Work directly with academically ambitious GCSE and A-Level students
• Mentor pupils targeting Oxford, Cambridge and Russell Group universities
• Support students pursuing Medicine, Law, STEM, Humanities and other competitive courses
• Deliver 1:1 mentoring and small-group academic sessions

• Support sixth-formers with university preparation
• Share your own experience of academically competitive environments
• Work alongside experienced teachers and senior leaders
• Gain outstanding experience for teaching, educational psychology, academia or postgraduate study

The School

Based in London, this high-achieving secondary school has a thriving sixth form and an incredibly ambitious culture.

Students are encouraged to think beyond their immediate circumstances and consider the very best universities and careers available to them. The school already has strong academic outcomes but wants to push its most able pupils even further.

That's where you come in.

Rather than simply supporting classroom administration, you will be used strategically to raise aspirations and academic performance.

What Could Your Week Look Like?

You might spend the morning stretching a high-achieving Year 11 student targeting top GCSE grades before running a small-group seminar with sixth-form students.

Later, you could mentor a student considering an Oxbridge application, support pupils with challenging academic material or help students develop stronger approaches to independent learning.

Key responsibilities could include:

• 1:1 academic mentoring
• Small-group tuition and intervention
• Stretching high-achieving students
• Supporting GCSE and A-Level preparation
• Developing pupils' confidence and academic resilience
• Encouraging wider reading and intellectual curiosity
• Supporting university aspirations and application preparation
• Working within your specialist academic subject
• Contributing to enrichment programmes and academic societies

Who Are We Looking For?

We particularly want to hear from Oxford and Cambridge graduates across all academic disciplines.

You don't need previous classroom experience.

What matters is your academic credibility, communication skills, intellectual curiosity and ability to connect with ambitious young people.

Perhaps you're considering teaching. Maybe you're planning postgraduate study. Or perhaps you simply want your first graduate role to involve something more meaningful than sitting behind a desk.

Whatever your longer-term plans, this is an opportunity to spend a year making your academic experience count.

Interested? Don't Sit on Your CV.

Send your CV to Ryan at KPI Education today to be considered for this Oxbridge Graduate Academic Mentor opportunity in London starting September 2026.

• Encouraging communication, confidence and independence

• Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour

• Working alongside teachers and other education professionals

Throughout your placement, you'll receive guidance and support from experienced members of the school team.

The Role

As a Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant, you'll provide personalised support to pupils who require additional assistance to access their education, develop their skills and make progress.

Your day-to-day responsibilities may include:

• Providing dedicated 1:1 support for individual pupils

• Supporting pupils within small-group activities

• Helping pupils with their academic development

• Supporting children and young people with SEND

• Helping pupils overcome barriers to learning

• Encouraging positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing

• Supporting pupils to develop confidence, resilience and independence

• Adapting activities and learning resources to meet individual needs

• Supporting communication and social development

• Working closely with teachers to understand and respond to individual pupil needs

• Assisting with classroom activities and learning resources

• Helping maintain a calm, safe and inclusive learning environment

Every pupil is different, giving you the opportunity to develop your understanding of individual needs and learn how to adapt your approach to support each child effectively.

What We're Looking For

Previous SEN experience is not essential.

We're looking for graduates who are genuinely interested in helping children and young people succeed and who have the patience, empathy and resilience needed to thrive in a school environment.

You'll ideally have:

• A First Class, 2:1 or 2:2 degree

• A degree in any subject

• A genuine interest in supporting children and young people

• Patience, empathy and a positive attitude

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• The ability to build positive and trusting relationships

• A willingness to learn from experienced teachers and education professionals

• A calm, consistent and supportive approach

• The resilience to manage challenging situations positively

• A genuine interest in developing a career within education or SEN

• The right to work in the UK on a full-time basis

Previous experience with SEN, schools, children, youth work, tutoring, mentoring, coaching or care would be beneficial but is not essential.

What matters most is your enthusiasm, reliability, patience and commitment to helping pupils achieve their potential.

Build Experience That Can Shape Your Career

A Graduate SEN Teaching Assistant role can be an excellent starting point if you're looking to gain practical experience before deciding where your career in education will take you.

You'll gain first-hand experience supporting pupils with additional needs, develop valuable professional skills and learn from experienced education professionals.

The experience you gain could help strengthen future applications for teacher training, SEN-focused roles, educational psychology, specialist education and a wide range of other child-centred careers.

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to pupils' confidence, development, wellbeing and educational experience.
