- A competitive salary in the region of £22k, which includes the salary and training costs
- A guaranteed placement in a forward-thinking, local school for your main placement, for three years
- Support from University of Kent staff, both during the application, interview and work placement stage and also once the programme has started
- A guaranteed paid work placement in Brompton before starting the scheme, for approximately 6 weeks in the school Summer Term (in May and June 2017)
