We’re Hiring: Lead Teacher – Curriculum & Quality
Shine Learning & Training Centre | Alternative Provision | Bedfordshire
Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 per annum, dependent on experience
Location: Bedford site
Interviews: Week beginning 13 July 2026
Shine Learning & Training Centre is looking for an exceptional Lead Teacher – Curriculum & Quality to join our growing alternative provision.
This is not a traditional teaching role. Please read this advert carefully, as the pressure, approach and teaching requirements are not the same as those in a mainstream setting.
We are looking for someone who understands that, in alternative provision, education is about far more than delivering lessons. It is about rebuilding trust, confidence, communication, resilience and belief in learning.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
