This role is located at Astrea Academy Sheffield (Secondary) in Sheffield.
The Teaching Fellow post is a fixed term appointment for one year. It is aimed at candidates who intend to apply for Teach First for the 2024-25 academic year.
During the year, Teaching Fellows will carry out the role of either a teaching assistant, subject tutor or cover supervisor. You will also have enhanced opportunities to take on small groups and cover/teach classes in order to develop your confidence and skills in readiness for the Teach First Programme.

At Astrea Academy Sheffield we are values-driven and our vision is to provide an exceptional, knowledge rich educational experience to ensure all scholars succeed. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our scholars have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative.
