Early Career Teacher (ECT)

PK Education understand how demanding teacher training can be. We also understand the pressure you’ll feel to find your first ECT role.

Juggling your studies with securing your first role isn’t easy, but we are here to help. Our knowledgeable consultants are on hand to help you through each stage of the process and provide advice on your best options as a newly qualified teacher.

We have a large number of positions available that will incorporate your induction. However, you should also consider supply work, if the right position doesn’t come along straight away.

Supply teaching jobs for ECTs

Working as a supply teacher with us can be a great way into a permanent position. It can gain you valuable experience to set you apart from other NQTs and importantly, it means you’re still getting paid!

As well as an open, friendly and honest approach from our consultants, we can offer:

• The best rates of supply pay for ECTs.
• Schools support for your ECT induction (on long-term assignments).
• Discounted CPD to develop your skills and enhance your CV.

Working on supply means you can:

• Try out different schools and get a feel for which type would suit you for a permanent position.
• Be in an ideal position to identify and go for permanent opportunities – treat it as a long interview.
• Keep your skills sharp and up to date while searching for a permanent position.

We recommend you register your details on our website as soon as possible as we will need all your safeguarding checks to be completed before we can start offering you work.
