You will need a Youth Mobility Visa for this role and can apply through the UK GOV website: https://www.gov.uk/youth-mobility/apply
Originally this was a 2 year visa (3 year for NZ passport holders) for applicants between the ages of 18-30. Fortunately, from 31st January 2024, you can now work on this visa for up to 3 years as an Australian passport holder and the age of eligible applicants has been extended to range between 18-35!
Registration:
If you're a qualified Teacher in Australia, your qualifications will be recognized in the UK and will be eligible to teach there. Graduate teachers from Australia can count one year of teaching in the UK towards their 2 year registration as long as the school you are working at in London provides a mentor (which Veritas can organise with the school) and at the end of placement and they provide you with a letterhead stating you worked there for your portfolio. You can do this either straight after university or the second year. Some agencies will pay you as an unqualified teacher without the 2 years, but Veritas will pay you as a qualified teacher.
