For many years we have been helping Early Career Teachers (formerly known as NQTs) begin their careers in our schools.
Our annual Primary ECT Recruitment selects the best prepared students for schools who are thinking of appointing an Early Career Teacher (ECT).
Secondary ECTs are currently able to find posts via our vacancies page.
Applying for your first teaching post
Many schools in the borough turn to the Schools HR team with support in finding ECTs, avoiding expensive agency costs and accessing local knowledge and support.
Our ECT database is open to those currently training to teach, have completed their ITT training and need to complete the Early Career Framework (ECF).
Joining the database is a quick and easy way hear about the latest ECT roles across the borough - keeping your options open and also ensuring that you find recruiting schools that suit you.
How does it work?
Sign up to our Email Alerts and select ECT as your preferred role type.
Emails are out sent out weekly (or more frequently) to interested applicants with details of the latest posts, often before they go out for advert.
If you are interested in a role, you will be directed on how to apply directly to the school. Schools will then contact candidates with details of their available posts and invite them for interview.
