Coordinator

Teach First is a charity that believes education is the
most powerful tool to help a child fulfil their potential.
We find and train teachers to work in the schools that
need them most, we equip school leaders with
evidence-led training, we support local teacher
training providers, and we plug education leaders
into supportive professional networks. We are a
community, working within the classroom and
beyond, to bring an end to educational inequality.
Because a child's future shouldn't depend on
their postcode.
