Salaried Primary Teacher Training - Rare? Alternative pathway

[SuffraJET]

I've been under the impression that Salaried Primary Teacher Training posts and/or apprenticeships are rare and usually reserved for those already employed in schools.
Does anyone have any insight to offer please?

Dd is desperate to teach in a SEN Primary school. She has worked as a TA/LA alongside her degree for the last three years latterly in a SEN school and running an after school club for them.

She changed degree course after the first year so is going into her fourth undergrad year. For financial reasons she wants to move back to the city near us and train /work/ settle down here (house prices still relatively reasonable). She has therefore not formed a relationship with any schools and won't get the chance to do so before applications open in October.

She seems convinced that there may be Primary (including none SEN) salaried training positions available. That might be a good route to go down finance wise, but she'll unlikely be training in the setting she wants to be in.

I really don't think these exist although the government advertises the PGTA quite a lot!

I wonder if I should just try and support her getting a PT TA role down here (she has two days off a week guaranteed). I'll need to make provisions for that as I currently use her bedroom as a home office when she is not here!

Alternatively she could applynas a TA for Sept 26 and hope a school agrees to fund her after probation.
If you could offer any insight into what happens in your practice areas I'd be grateful.

I've just finished (well, still have an end-point assessment to go!) a teacher apprenticeship. I looked in to doing it in the school I was already a TA in, but they weren't able to say for sure if they could have me until after the deadline my course had given me, so I emailed every school within a 30 minute drive, explaining who I was, what I could offer, and what I needed. I think I emailed 50 schools in the end, about 5 got in touch to explore further. I had an interview and then got offered a job at one school, and I had another school lined up to come and see me teach if I didn't get that one, so it is possible!

I also did the apprenticeship route.

Had been employed by the school as a TA, then HLTA and now teacher. My head supported me every step of the way and pulled out all the stops. Still extremely grateful for this.

Thank you both that's helpful. I've chatted to Dd. She is going to look to see if any salaried primary vacancies come up in our area when applications open. It's unlikely , so mostly she will be concentrating on her final year of her Ed Studies degree and her bank work in the lovely SEN school near her current location.

She wants to be school centred and do her training mainly in an SEN setting so we've agreed that just starting with TA work in our local area would be a good alternative too.

Thanks again and hope all is going well post-apprenticeship.
