Ready to step into your first teaching role?
If you’ve just finished your PGCE or are about to qualify, you don’t need to do it alone. We’re working with schools across Barnsley who are excited to welcome Early Career Teachers (ECTs) into their classrooms.

-----------------------------------
The roles:
* Teaching across KS1, KS2, and secondary subjects (we’ll match your specialism)
* Full classroom responsibility with planning and preparation support
* Opportunities to co-plan with experienced teachers so you’re never left guessing
* Involvement in staff CPD, school trips, and enrichment activities
* A chance to build strong routines and lasting relationships with your pupils
