New to your role

When you're new to your role, it's important to know what is expected of you, how to meet these expectations, and how this will benefit your school.

Our online resources can help you:

  • Identify induction materials and initial training opportunities to help you develop essential knowledge and skills
  • Ensure your skills, knowledge and experience meet the expectations of your role. Our guidance on national occupational standards (NOS) can help with this
  • Find relevant training programmes and resources
  • Find information to help brush up on your literacy and numeracy skills

Things to consider

  • How are your literacy, language and numeracy skills? It may be worth refreshing or further developing them so you can get the most out of any future training for career progression
  • Induction programmes delivered by local authorities are worth doing as they’ll help you gain a better understanding of the education arena and your responsibilities when working with children
