Explore Teaching Internships Location : Brighton, BN2 0AL Salary: Reasonable travel expenses to Brighton will be paid in line with the College travel policy and interns will be provided with all meals by the College, as well as receiving a weekly stipend of 300 and residing in college-provided accommodation for the duration of the Internship. Job Type: Fixed Term/Full Time Brighton College, one of the UKs leading independent schools, is delighted to be running its fifth annual paid internship scheme for undergraduates and postgraduates who wish to explore a career in teaching. The three-week long paid scheme in June 2025 is for talented students who fall into one of three categories: Students from Black, Asian and mixed heritage backgrounds Women who wish to explore opportunities to teach STEM subjects (maths and computing in particular, but also science more generally) Men interested in teaching in primary schools (children aged 3-13). This is a unique opportunity for current undergraduates or postgraduates (or very recent graduates), who may not have previously contemplated teaching, especially in the private sector. It will be especially exciting for those who have not had direct experience of boarding schools and independent education but will provide valuable experience and insights for people considering teaching in any sector, subject or age-group. The Internship This Internship scheme has been created to contribute to efforts designed to make the teaching profession more inclusive, in part so that teachers are more representative of the entire population and the pupils whom they teach. Whist we are very proud at Brighton of the progress we have made towards a more diverse staff body in recent years, we will be the first to acknowledge that there is further to go, and when the independent school sector is looked at as whole, much remains to be done. The College is determined to see more talented candidates of all ethnic backgrounds entering the teaching profession, but the emphasis in this internship on women in maths/computing and men in primary teaching reflects a particular shortage of candidates in these demographics/sectors. More broadly, Brighton College is proud to have taken a progressive stand on diversity, equity and inclusion. The school is known for its forward-thinking philosophy, including its zero-tolerance approach to bullying. It was the first independent school to introduce a gender-neutral uniform policy, and the first independent school to take part in Brighton Pride now an annual event. We also commit significant financial sums each year to supporting scholarships and bursaries for pupils who may not be able to afford to attend the College and now have more than 20 Soames Scholars in our Sixth Form, all of whom are on 100%+ scholarships, having experienced serious disadvantage in their prior lives and education. Brighton College has won numerous awards for its innovative approach to teaching and learning. Most recently The Sunday Times named us Top Co-educational School in the UK, UK School of the Year for A-levels 2025 and UK Boarding School of the Year 2025. This is alongside them giving us the accolade 'UK School of the Decade' (the only school ever to have received this), because of our consistently excellent results and the way that kindness and community involvement are central to our approach The Internship will offer interns a range of opportunities, including: Shadowing pupils and teachers to understand the educational context in which they operate Experience of delivering parts of lessons under the guidance of experienced teachers Experience of delivering pastoral care through boarding houses and tutor groups Experience of assisting in the delivery of assemblies, and educational trips and visits Information about different routes into the teaching profession and career prospects Training on teaching methods Social and networking opportunities with peers and colleagues (interns, other unqualified teachers, experienced teachers and members of the Senior Management Team). Safeguarding Responsibilities This role will involve daily contact with pupils and the successful candidate will be engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. All staff and volunteers have a responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young persons for whom they are responsible and with whom they come into contact.
