Location: Barking & Dagenham
Salary: £37,868 - £56,154
Hours of Work: 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM (Term Time Only)
Are you an enthusiastic early career teacher (ECT) ready to take the first step in your teaching journey? We have an exciting opportunity in the vibrant borough of Barking & Dagenham, where a welcoming and inclusive primary school is looking for a passionate ECT to join their supportive team this September.
This is your chance to grow within a forward-thinking, community-focused school that places a high value on nurturing new teachers. You’ll be part of a dynamic Key Stage 2 team that values creativity, collaboration, and continuous professional development. The leadership team is committed to helping new teachers succeed, offering tailored mentorship, ongoing CPD, and an experienced parallel teacher to support you every step of the way.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Delivering engaging, inclusive lessons across Key Stage 2
• Planning and assessing pupils’ progress in line with national curriculum standards
• Working closely with your year group partner and wider staff team
• Contributing to a positive, caring classroom environment
• Building strong relationships with pupils, parents, and colleagues
Ideal Candidate
• Holds QTS or will have achieved it by September 2025
• Brimming with enthusiasm, creativity, and a desire to make a difference
• Strong communicator who thrives in a team setting
• Reflective and open to feedback, with a growth mindset
• Committed to inclusion and equal opportunities for all learners
Why This Role Stands Out
• A warm, multicultural school community with a strong sense of belonging
• Leadership that truly values ECTs – you’ll never be left to sink or swim
• Excellent transport links into Central London and outer boroughs
• Access to top-tier training and career progression opportunities
Take the leap and begin your teaching career in a place where you’ll be inspired, supported, and empowered to grow.
