Calling Early Career Teacher

ECT Primary Teachers (Final-Year PGCE) - Secure Your First Role for September 2026 Leicester & Leicestershire Supply | Long-Term | Permanent ECT Induction Roles

You're nearly there-you've done the training, the placements, the late nights planning lessons... now comes the most important decision: where your teaching career begins.

We work with a wide range of primary schools and multi-academy trusts across Leicester and Leicestershire who are actively planning for ECTs starting September 2026 . Many are already shortlisting, interviewing, and securing their next intake of teachers now.

If you're a final-year PGCE student , this is your opportunity to get ahead of the rush and explore your options properly-not just take the first job that comes up.

Not Sure Where You Want to Start? That's OK.
Many ECTs tell us the same thing: "I don't know what type of school I want yet."

That's exactly why we offer a flexible route in:

Supply First (Highly Recommended for ECTs)
Supply gives you something your placements can't always offer- real variety and independence in different schools .

You'll experience:

Different year groups (EYFS, KS1, KS2)
A range of school settings (1-form, 2-form, 3-form entry schools)
Different leadership styles and behaviour systems
A variety of pupil needs and school cultures

This helps you quickly discover:

What year group suits you best
Whether you thrive in smaller or larger schools
The type of environment where you feel most confident and effective

Many of our ECTs use supply as a stepping stone into long-term or permanent roles they actually want , rather than rushing into the wrong first job.

Or Go Straight Into an ECT Induction Role
If you already have a clear idea of what you want, we can also support you into:

Permanent ECT positions from September 2026
Full induction support in line with ECF requirements
Structured mentoring and development programmes
Opportunities across EYFS, KS1 and KS2

We work closely with schools who genuinely invest in their ECTs-not just place them.

What You'll Gain
Whether you choose supply or a permanent role, you will:

Build confidence across multiple primary settings
Strengthen behaviour management in real classroom environments
Gain exposure to different curriculum approaches
Develop your teaching style beyond placement experience
Improve your chances of securing your ideal permanent school
