Equality and Diversity - Department for EducationThe Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) is an executive agency of the Department for Education (DfE).
The purpose of the agency is to support employers, schools and headteachers with their safeguarding responsibilities by taking action on receipt of allegations of serious teacher misconduct and providing employers the opportunity to complete pre-recruitment checks to ensure that they are employing teachers who are appropriately qualified for their role.
- To support these requirements, the TRA has two operational teams:
- the Teacher Qualification Unit, and
4 of the advertised roles will be based within the Teacher Misconduct Unit.
1 role will be based within the Teacher Qualification Unit's Professional Recognition Team.
The Teacher Misconduct Unit (TMU)
The TRA operates the regulatory system for teacher misconduct as defined by The Teachers' Disciplinary (England) Regulations 2012 and the Teacher Misconduct Procedures - Disciplinary procedures for the Teaching Profession.
The TMU is responsible for investigating all cases of serious teacher misconduct and the administration of those cases progressing to a professional conduct panel hearing.
The TRA also acts on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education, as the Competent Authority for teaching in England, being responsible for the award of qualified teacher status, and the recognition of the professional status of teachers from overseas.

The role of the Caseworker is to work with the Case Manager on a portfolio of cases relating to allegations of serious teacher misconduct.
The Caseworker will take a proactive role in progressing cases ensuring that cases are progressed within expected timeframes and to a high standard.
Caseworkers will routinely liaise with external legal firms which investigate cases on behalf of the TRA; speak with teachers, witnesses and other stakeholders.

The Caseworker role involves:
- Managing and resolving customer enquiries in relation to QTS and associated teacher services.
- Maintaining the accuracy of qualified teachers records in England that employers use to complete prerecruitment checks.
- Secure assessing and storing of personal data.
The role requires an ability to work across teams to provide a good quality customer experience, at pace and with the confidence to make autonomous decisions when required.
