Hull is amongst the most affordable places to live in the UK. With the cost of living rising, your teaching salary could go much further in Hull.
Hull schools have strong links with each other and networking opportunities are plenty. Regular CPD across schools means Hull's teachers are always developing their skills.
Hull was named as the UK's City of Culture in 2017, and enjoyed a massive boost in investment, trade and tourism which continues today.
Hull has a rich history, which shapes its identity today. William Wilberforce, Amy Johnson and Philip Larkin all called Hull their home.
Teachers are paid according to a national pay scale, which has 5 bands. The lowest band, M1, where a newly qualified teacher starts is set to be £30,000 for the 2023-24 academic year. The scale rises to M6, which teachers progress through under the terms of their employing schools’ performance management procedure. M6 pay is set to be £41,333 for the 2023-24 academic year.
This is significantly higher than Hull’s average salary of £23,350.
There are various routes into becoming a qualified teacher, as well as options to work as an unqualified teacher or “an instructor.”
We published this resource to help understand the requirements for becoming a teacher which goes into more details about the routes into teaching.
The demand for qualified teaching staff is increasing year on year. Simply put, as the population increases and experienced staff leave or retire, the number of vacancies increases. We have a significant number of jobs advertised in the Hull and East Riding which you can view below.
You may have seen reports in the media regarding teacher workload, and yes, teachers do put in a lot of time planning, delivering and assessing their lessons. The DFE has launched a plan for tackling teacher workload, and teaching unions are actively supporting their members to keep workloads manageable.
All school staff are required to undergo a check with the Disclosure and Barring Service. A criminal conviction will not automatically disqualify you from getting a teaching job, and each case will be assessed individually. However, serious crimes involving violence, sexual assault or offences against children are likely to result in a candidate being deemed as unsuitable to teach.
If you are concerned, it may be worth contacting a teaching union to seek their advice.
