Teaching Employers:

Build Your Workforce. Support Student Learning. Invest in the Future of Education.

At Lanvey, we work with schools, colleges, and training providers to help recruit and train Teaching Apprentices who will support high-quality learning while developing into confident and qualified professionals. By hiring a Teaching Apprentice, you’ll gain
enthusiastic staff who are trained to national standards, helping you meet the diverse needs of
your learners.

Why Hire a Teaching Apprentice?

Classroom Support from Day One

Apprentices provide direct support to teachers and students—assisting with lesson delivery,
classroom management, resource preparation, and one-to-one or small group support.

Cost-Effective Staffing

With government apprenticeship funding, you can train new staff affordably—reducing
recruitment costs and supporting long-term retention.

Training Aligned to Standards

Our apprentices complete nationally recognised Teaching Apprenticeship standards,
equipping them with skills in pedagogy, curriculum planning, safeguarding, and inclusive
practice.

Future Teachers in Development

Apprenticeships are a proven pathway into full teacher training, helping you nurture future
educators from within your own team.

Fresh Skills & Commitment

Apprentices bring energy, digital skills, and new ideas to the classroom—supporting students while learning from experienced mentors.

How It Works

Step 1

Tell Us Your Needs

We’ll help you find and recruit the right apprentice for your school, college, or training setting.

Step 2

On-the-Job Training

Apprentices work within your organisation, supporting teaching, learning, and pastoral care.

Step 3

Off-the-Job Training

Apprentices spend 20% of their time completing structured training, assignments, and professional development activities.

Qualified Staff Member

Once completed, apprentices are fully qualified to progress into advanced teaching roles, higher-level training, or QTS routes.

What does it cost to hire a Teaching Apprentice?

If your annual payroll is under £3m, you only pay 5% of the training cost, with the government covering 95%.

Employers with fewer than 50 staff who take on a 16–21 year old apprentice have training fully funded.

How long does the apprenticeship last?

Usually 18–24 months depending on the standard and the learner’s progression.

What support must I provide?

A supportive learning environment.

Opportunities for the apprentice to work directly with students.

A mentor (teacher or senior colleague) to guide their professional growth.

What happens after the apprenticeship?

Apprentices may progress into:

Full-time Teaching roles

Higher-Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) positions

Teacher training pathways (Level 6/QTS)

Specialist roles in SEND, pastoral support, or subject-specific teaching
