If you are interested in becoming a teaching assistant in Portsmouth, a new initiative to inspire people to 'support their classroom' has launched with a special information event at Portsmouth Central Library on Tuesday 5 July from 10am - 12pm. 

A virtual meet and greet was held with two nursery workers on Monday 17 January during Portsmouth Aspirations Week in the hope of inspiring children, young people and professionals to consider a career in the sector. Teach Portsmouth presents early years education offered delegates information on how to become qualified as a nursery worker alongside progression opportunities available in the city. 

Teach Portsmouth's webinar series returns in the new year to showcase the incredible careers in early years education, in particular nurseries. 

A webinar for future teachers successfully showcased the rewards of the profession by focusing on special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and the need to support children and young people in the city. Learn more about the different roles available and the skills you need to progress in the profession. 

Helping children and young people become the best version of themselves has always been one of teachings greatest rewards. If you are interested in supporting those with additional needs, Teach Portsmouth's next webinar could be for you. 

Teaching provides a rewarding career for those who want to make a difference. If you have aspirations to move into a more senior role, our latest webinar on: career progression provides top tips for those wishing to step up. 

When considering a career in teaching, you might have questions about progressing in the role. We spoke to Debbie Anderson, head of school improvement and early years at Portsmouth City Council who will be hosting our upcoming webinar on career progression. Debbie was a head teacher in the city for over 20 years. In her interview, she provides information on her own teaching journey into senior management.

After the success of Teach Portsmouth's first two webinars, the series returns with career progression in teaching on Wednesday 26 May from 4pm to 5pm. The webinar series aims to inspire those interested in teaching to learn more about what opportunities are available in the city.
