LONG-TERM SUCCESS
If you’re looking for work, our top priority is matching you to a role that fulfills your long-term goals. We’ll find a school where you will be able to flourish and develop your skills, not for the short term, but for years to come. The average teacher spends only 5 years in the industry and we want to challenge that, by matching the right people with the right schools and eschewing temp work altogether. We want to create an atmosphere of steadiness and reliability in the classroom so that our future generations get the best chance to learn that they can.
BRIDGING THE GAP
We make frequent reference to Early Career Teaching (ECT) Jobs, as this is the new term the industry is taking on, replacing NQTs (Newly Qualified Teachers), accompanied by a variety of logistical changes also. These changes include:
- Length of induction increased from 1 to 2 years.
- 5% timetable reduction in second year of employment (following 10% reduction in year 1).
- A mentor assigned to each ECT, as well as an induction tutor, instead of the two roles being combined into one.
These changes are for the purpose of further embedding new teachers into primary school jobs, secondary school jobs and graduate teaching jobs generally. This aligns well with our values as, we believe, the more support a teacher has when starting a new role, the more their confidence grows and the better a teacher they become.
