Benefits for Lambeth NQTs

Lambeth teachers can take advantage of the Keyworker Living Programme, offering interest-free home loans, shared ownership schemes and local affordable rented housing initiatives providing rented properties at around a 25% discount on market rates.

Please be aware that we cannot guarantee accommodation for teachers.

Teachers in Lambeth schools are entitled to:

• an interest-free season ticket loan (after being in post for six months)
• the Lambeth Leisure Card, which gives you discounts at Lambeth’s four leisure centres every time you use it – 25% off at peak and 50% off at off-peak times
• Lambeth teachers also receive the Inner London Weighting Allowance.

Lambeth also has a commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for all school-based staff, throughout your career, with access to both local and national courses. Lambeth also supports and promotes Chartered London Teacher Status, which is a qualification that recognises the professionalism and commitment of London teachers, as well as carrying a one-off payment of £1000 on accreditation.

We are also very proud of our Induction Mentor Programme, for the NQT mentors based in schools. This is to ensure that they are able to give you all the support and help you need; further to this, we have a team of Advanced Skills Teachers who, as part of their role, support, advise and work with NQTs.

For NQTs with childcare facilities, Lambeth's Early Years and sure start services provides a huge range of information about services for children including details of childminders and playschemes.
