Are you a recent Art graduate looking for more than just a job?

Would you like to train as a teacher while earning, receiving exceptional mentoring, and becoming part of a trust that is committed to developing the next generation of outstanding educators?

KPI Education is working in partnership with an ambitious and rapidly improving secondary school within a highly supportive multi-academy trust in South East London. The trust is seeking an enthusiastic, resilient and creative Art graduate to join the school as a Graduate Trainee Teacher, with a clear pathway towards gaining Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

If you're planning to remain in South East London after university and are looking for a rewarding graduate opportunity with genuine career progression, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Opportunity

This is far more than a Graduate Teaching Assistant role.

You'll spend the academic year immersed in school life, developing your classroom practice alongside experienced teachers before progressing onto a fully supported teacher training programme within the trust.

You'll receive outstanding mentoring, structured professional development and the opportunity to build a long-term teaching career within a trust that invests heavily in its staff.

About the School

This welcoming secondary school is on an exciting improvement journey, with an ambitious leadership team committed to raising aspirations and delivering exceptional outcomes for its pupils.

The school serves a vibrant local community where students are enthusiastic, energetic and eager to learn. Behaviour is not considered challenging, but staff are expected to provide clear routines, consistency and high expectations to help pupils thrive.

The successful graduate will become part of a collaborative staff team where hard work, creativity and commitment are recognised and rewarded.

The Role

Working alongside experienced teachers and department leaders, you will:

• Support the delivery of engaging Art lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4
• Develop your classroom practice through observation and supported teaching
• Deliver small group and one-to-one interventions
• Help inspire creativity and confidence in young people
• Build positive relationships with pupils through consistency and high expectations
• Contribute to the wider life of the school and academy trust
• Progress towards a fully supported teacher training programme leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for graduates who are:

• Educated to degree level in Art, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration or a related creative subject
• Planning to remain in South East London after graduating
• Passionate about pursuing a career in teaching
• Resilient, proactive and eager to learn
• Able to build positive relationships with young people
• Motivated by making a genuine difference within a school community
• Excited by the opportunity to contribute to the school's wider enrichment programme

Graduates from Russell Group and other leading universities are particularly encouraged to apply.

What You'll Receive

• Full-time graduate role from September
• Clear route into fully supported teacher training and QTS
• Outstanding mentoring from experienced teachers and senior leaders
• Exceptional CPD and professional development
• Opportunities to build a long-term teaching career within the trust
• A supportive and collaborative working environment
• The chance to make a genuine impact in a school on an exciting improvement journey

Why Apply?

The trust is committed to growing its own teachers and is looking for graduates who want to build a long-term career in education—not simply complete a placement before moving on.

If you're ambitious, resilient and ready to inspire the next generation through creativity, this could be the perfect first step into teaching.

Interviews Taking Place Immediately

The trust is interviewing now and is keen to appoint an outstanding graduate as soon as possible to begin preparing for September.

Head of Solar Operations / Operations Manager

Build a Renewable Energy Business from the Ground Up

Location: North West (Flexible)

Salary: Excellent Executive Package + Bonus + Long-Term Career Opportunity

The Opportunity

This is not just another Operations Manager position.

Our client is investing heavily in the Renewable Energy sector and is looking for an ambitious operational leader to establish and grow a brand-new Solar & Renewables division.

You'll have the autonomy to build the operation your way-developing the infrastructure, recruiting the team, implementing best practice, and creating an installation business capable of becoming one of the UK's leading providers of residential solar solutions.

If you've successfully managed or scaled operations within the Solar PV industry and are looking for an opportunity where you can genuinely shape the future of a business, we'd love to speak with you.

The Role

Reporting into the senior leadership team, you'll take full ownership of operational delivery across the division, ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standards while building the foundations for future growth.

You'll be responsible for developing operational strategy, establishing robust processes and governance, recruiting high-performing teams and delivering an exceptional customer experience.

This is a highly visible leadership role with significant influence over the future direction of the business.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership

• Develop and deliver the operational strategy for the Solar & Renewables division.
• Build a scalable operational structure capable of supporting significant business growth.
• Identify opportunities to expand into Battery Storage, EV Charging and other renewable technologies.
• Work closely with senior leadership to support long-term business objectives.

Operational Delivery

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of residential solar installation projects.
• Develop operational procedures, systems and governance frameworks.
• Ensure installations are completed safely, on time, within budget and to exceptional quality standards.
• Drive continuous improvement across installation performance and customer experience.
• Oversee scheduling, resource planning and workforce utilisation.
• Work closely with regional and district managers to maximise operational efficiency.
• Monitor operational performance including installation success rates, customer satisfaction, re-attend volumes and fleet utilisation.
• Manage operational escalations, ensuring swift resolution and positive customer outcomes.

Building the Team

One of the most exciting aspects of this opportunity is building your own operation.

You'll recruit, develop and mentor a high-performing team across installation, surveying, technical support and project delivery while creating a culture centred around accountability, quality and continuous improvement.

Compliance & Quality

You'll ensure the business operates to the highest industry standards, maintaining compliance with MCS, NICEIC and all relevant health & safety legislation whilst ensuring every installation meets both regulatory and customer expectations.

Stakeholder Management

You'll become the senior operational representative for the division, building strong relationships with customers, suppliers, subcontractors and accreditation bodies while providing regular updates to the executive leadership team.

About You

We're looking for someone who combines operational excellence with commercial awareness and enjoys building businesses rather than simply maintaining them.

You'll ideally have:

• At least 5 years' experience within the Solar PV installation sector.
• Proven leadership experience managing operational teams.
• Experience delivering multiple installation projects simultaneously.
• A strong understanding of operational planning, scheduling and resource management.
• Experience managing subcontractors and supply chain partners.
• A track record of improving operational performance and customer satisfaction.
• Excellent leadership, coaching and stakeholder management skills.

Highly Desirable

• Experience launching or scaling a Solar installation business or division.
• Experience within Battery Storage, EV Charging or wider Renewable Technologies.
• Previous experience in a fast-growth or entrepreneurial environment.
• Strong industry relationships across the Renewable Energy sector.
• Technical, Electrical, Engineering or Business qualification.

What's on Offer?

• A genuine opportunity to build and lead a new business division.
• Significant autonomy and influence over operational strategy.
• Investment from an established and ambitious organisation.
• Long-term career progression as the business expands nationally.
• Executive salary and performance-related bonus.
• The chance to make a lasting impact within one of the UK's fastest-growing industries.

If you're an experienced operational leader within the Solar or Renewable Energy sector looking for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today for a confidential discussion.
