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
-----------------------------------
Who This Is For
* Final-year PGCE students (Primary Education)
* Newly qualified teachers preparing for ECT induction
* Graduates completing teacher training in 2026
* ECTs unsure whether to commit to a permanent school immediately
-----------------------------------
What We Offer
* Access to exclusive ECT roles before they are widely advertised
* Flexible supply opportunities to build experience first
* Permanent ECT placements from September 2026
* PAYE pay – no umbrella companies or hidden deductions
* Competitive daily rates
* A dedicated consultant supporting you personally
* Honest advice to help you choose the right school for YOU
* Interview preparation and CV support
-----------------------------------
Don’t Rush Your First Job
Your first school matters—but it doesn’t have to be rushed.
Supply gives you time. Permanent roles give you structure. We help you choose what’s right for your career, not just what’s available.
