+* varied job roles
 
-If you are not a qualified teacher [find out how to train to teach in England as a non-UK citizen](/non-uk-teachers/train-to-teach-in-england-as-an-international-student).
+You will need English [qualified teacher status (QTS)](/train-to-be-a-teacher/what-is-qts) to teach in most schools in England. QTS is a professional teaching qualification that teachers in England gain at the end of their training. 
 
-To find out about teaching in other areas of the UK, visit the:

-## What you will need to teach in England
-
-If you are already a qualified teacher, you do not need to retrain to teach in England. However, you will need:
-
-* to apply for English qualified teacher status (QTS), or be able to demonstrate strong non-UK qualifications and experience 
-* a high standard of written and spoken English
-* to pass criminal and professional safeguarding checks (these will be organised by your employer)
-* [a visa or immigration status allowing you to work in the UK](/non-uk-teachers/visas-for-non-uk-teachers)

-
-## English qualified teacher status (QTS)
-
-Qualified teacher status (QTS) is the professional status teachers in England gain at the end of their teacher training. Schools use QTS as a measure of teaching skills and experience, so you will find it much easier to get a teaching job in England if you have QTS.
-
-However, if you’re a qualified teacher from outside the UK, you can [work as a teacher in England for up to 4 years without QTS](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-qualified-teacher-status-qts-if-you-teach-outside-the-uk/routes-to-qualified-teacher-status-qts-for-teachers-and-those-with-teaching-experience-outside-the-uk#qts-exemption-for-teachers-from-outside-the-uk).
-
-After that, you will need QTS to teach in many schools in England, although it is not a legal requirement in some types of school, such as academy schools, free schools and private schools. Find out more about [the different types of schools in England](https://www.gov.uk/types-of-school). 
- 
-
-### Applying for QTS
-
-Depending on where you qualified, the subject you teach and your qualifications, you may be able to use a new professional recognition service to apply for English qualified teacher status.  
-
-You will not have to pay a fee or undergo further training when you apply for QTS. However, you will have to meet strict requirements. These requirements are mandatory and must be met in full exactly as set out on [the GOV.UK website](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/awarding-qualified-teacher-status-to-overseas-teachers).  
-
-It is important to note that getting QTS does not lead to a teaching job or visa – you will need to apply for these separately. 
-
-If you have a teaching qualification from the following countries and regions, you can use the new professional recognition service to apply for QTS, if you meet the requirements:
-
-
-* Australia
-* Canada
-* the EEA
-* Guernsey
-* Gibraltar
-* Hong Kong
-* Jersey
-* New Zealand
-* Northern Ireland
-* Scotland
-* Switzerland
-* Ukraine
-* the USA
-
-In addition, if you have a subject specialism in languages, maths or science and a teaching qualification to teach 11 to 16 year olds from the following countries, you can use the new professional recognition service to apply for QTS, if you meet the requirements:
-
-* Ghana
-* India
-* Jamaica
-* Nigeria
-* Singapore
-* South Africa
-

-### Other routes to QTS in England 
+## If you do not have qualified teacher status
 
-Many teachers will not meet the requirements for QTS. If you’re not eligible, you may be able to [find an alternative route to QTS which better suits your circumstances](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-qualified-teacher-status-qts-if-you-teach-outside-the-uk/routes-to-qualified-teacher-status-qts-for-teachers-and-those-with-teaching-experience-outside-the-uk).
+If you do not have QTS, schools will want to see alternative evidence of your teaching and academic qualifications. 
 
+To check your qualifications meet the required standard in England you will need [a statement of comparability from the UK European Network of Information Centres (UK ENIC)](https://enic.org.uk/Qualifications/SOC/Default.aspx).
 
-## Find a teaching job in England  
+If you are a qualified teacher from outside the UK, you can work as a teacher in England for up to 4 years without QTS.  After that, you will need QTS to teach in many schools in England. 
 
-To find a teaching job, you must apply to individual schools (not the Department for Education). The Department for Education does not appoint teachers and will never offer jobs for teaching roles.
+$qtsroutes$
 
-If you need a Skilled Worker visa, you must find a school that can sponsor your visa.
 
-You can search for a teaching job through the government’s official [Teaching Vacancies service](https://teaching-vacancies.service.gov.uk/). Filter your search by ‘Visa sponsorship’ to find jobs that can sponsor visas. Set up job alerts so you don’t miss out on new roles. 
+## Visas for non-UK teachers
 
-### Get a job, then apply for your visa
- 
-Submit your application to a school that can sponsor visas, and if you are offered the job, you’ll then be able to apply for your visa. 
+To teach in England, you will need a Skilled Worker visa or immigration status allowing you to work in the UK. 
 
-### Your professional qualifications 
+If you need a Skilled Worker visa, you will need to apply for teaching jobs that offer visa sponsorship. If you are offered a job, you can then apply for your visa. 
 
-If you do not have QTS, schools you apply to will want to see alternative evidence of your teaching and academic qualifications. You can [get a statement of comparability from the UK information centre for international qualifications and skills](https://www.enic.org.uk/Qualifications/SOC/Default.aspx) (UK ENIC) showing how your qualifications compare to English ones.

-### Tips on applying
+## Applying for teaching jobs in England
+You must apply to individual schools, not the Department for Education (DfE). DfE does not appoint teachers and does not offer teaching jobs. 
 
-You can search and apply for jobs by region, subject specialism and age group. Most [teaching vacancies](https://teaching-vacancies.service.gov.uk/) are advertised in March, April or the first half of May, with jobs usually starting at the beginning of the school year in September. 
+$sponsjobs$
 
-You can set up a job alert to be updated about opportunities throughout the year.
+## Safeguarding checks
+If a school offers you a job, you will have to pass safeguarding and criminal records checks. These confirm you are a safe and suitable person to work with children. 
 
-As part of your application, schools will usually ask for your:

-After that, you will need QTS to teach in many schools in England, although it is not a legal requirement in some types of school, such as academy schools, free schools and private schools. Find out more about [the different types of schools in England](https://www.gov.uk/types-of-school).

-
-### Applying for QTS
-
-Depending on where you qualified, the subject you teach and your qualifications, you may be able to use a new professional recognition service to apply for English qualified teacher status.  
-
-You will not have to pay a fee or undergo further training when you apply for QTS. However, you will have to meet strict requirements. These requirements are mandatory and must be met in full exactly as set out on [the GOV.UK website](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/awarding-qualified-teacher-status-to-overseas-teachers).  
-
-It is important to note that getting QTS does not lead to a teaching job or visa – you will need to apply for these separately. 
-
-If you have a teaching qualification from the following countries and regions, you can use the new professional recognition service to apply for QTS, if you meet the requirements:
-
-
-* Australia
-* Canada
-* the EEA
-* Guernsey
-* Gibraltar
-* Hong Kong
-* Jersey
-* New Zealand
-* Northern Ireland
-* Scotland
-* Switzerland
-* Ukraine
-* the USA
-
-In addition, if you have a subject specialism in languages, maths or science and a teaching qualification to teach 11 to 16 year olds from the following countries, you can use the new professional recognition service to apply for QTS, if you meet the requirements:
-
-* Ghana
-* India
-* Jamaica
-* Nigeria
-* Singapore
-* South Africa
+If you are a qualified teacher from outside the UK, you can work as a teacher in England for up to 4 years without QTS.  After that, you will need QTS to teach in many schools in England.

-## English qualified teacher status (QTS)
+## If you do not have qualified teacher status
 
-Qualified teacher status (QTS) is the professional status teachers in England gain at the end of their teacher training. Schools use QTS as a measure of teaching skills and experience, so you will find it much easier to get a teaching job in England if you have QTS.
+If you do not have QTS, schools will want to see alternative evidence of your teaching and academic qualifications. 
 
-However, if you’re a qualified teacher from outside the UK, you can [work as a teacher in England for up to 4 years without QTS](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-qualified-teacher-status-qts-if-you-teach-outside-the-uk/routes-to-qualified-teacher-status-qts-for-teachers-and-those-with-teaching-experience-outside-the-uk#qts-exemption-for-teachers-from-outside-the-uk).
+You can get a [statement of comparability from the UK information centre for international qualifications and skills](https://www.enic.org.uk/Qualifications/SOC/Default.aspx). This will show how your qualifications compare to English ones. 
 
-After that, you will need QTS to teach in many schools in England, although it is not a legal requirement in some types of school, such as academy schools, free schools and private schools. Find out more about [the different types of schools in England](https://www.gov.uk/types-of-school). 
- 
-
-### Applying for QTS
-
-Depending on where you qualified, the subject you teach and your qualifications, you may be able to use a new professional recognition service to apply for English qualified teacher status.  
-
-You will not have to pay a fee or undergo further training when you apply for QTS. However, you will have to meet strict requirements. These requirements are mandatory and must be met in full exactly as set out on [the GOV.UK website](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/awarding-qualified-teacher-status-to-overseas-teachers).  
-
-It is important to note that getting QTS does not lead to a teaching job or visa – you will need to apply for these separately. 
-
-If you have a teaching qualification from the following countries and regions, you can use the new professional recognition service to apply for QTS, if you meet the requirements:
-
-
-* Australia
-* Canada
-* the EEA
-* Guernsey
-* Gibraltar
-* Hong Kong
-* Jersey
-* New Zealand
-* Northern Ireland
-* Scotland
-* Switzerland
-* Ukraine
-* the USA
-
-In addition, if you have a subject specialism in languages, maths or science and a teaching qualification to teach 11 to 16 year olds from the following countries, you can use the new professional recognition service to apply for QTS, if you meet the requirements:
-
-* Ghana
-* India
-* Jamaica
-* Nigeria
-* Singapore
-* South Africa
+If you are a qualified teacher from outside the UK, you can work as a teacher in England for up to 4 years without QTS.  After that, you will need QTS to teach in many schools in England.
