Starting your Teaching CareerThere are a number of ways you can apply for work as a newly qualified teacher (NQT)
Applying online
If you are a newly qualified teacher, you can complete our  online application form for teaching vacancies at Southwark schools.
By uploading your details, head teachers will be able to view your skills and experience and will contact you if a suitable vacancy arises. If you are successful at interview, you will be offered an appointment by the school governing body.
There is no closing date for applications; however, you are advised to apply in the early months of the year, as there have not been enough vacancies for all applicants in recent years.
Before you fill in your application
School vacancy bulletin
Our school vacancy bulletin is published weekly during term time and includes many, although not all, teaching and support staff vacancies within Southwark schools.
Other sources of information
Some schools also advertise vacant posts that are suitable for newly qualified teachers. Advertisements usually appear in the Times Educational Supplement. If you are interested in an advertised vacancy, you should apply directly to the school concerned.
