Appointment of overseas trained teachers

Overseas trained teachers are welcomed to apply for any job advertised by the Croydon local education authority. However, if the teachers do not have qualified teacher status (QTS), they can be employed on the unqualified teacher pay scale.

There are a number of initiatives that the Croydon Education Partnership are supporting to ensure that Croydon is a destination of choice:

Date: Saturday, 8 March 2025

Could you make a difference to the young people of Croydon?

Are you interested in teaching as a profession? or are you considering a career in education?

Exhibitors will meet potential candidates to discuss prospective positions and opportunities in their organisations and across the borough. 

The event will feature a number of local exhibitors including:

  • teacher training providers

Experts will be available to offer advice and tips on various aspects of teaching, such as:
