Are you an ECT looking for a Gateshead primary school where you will be properly supported, mentored, and given time to grow?
We are working closely with a well-established two-form entry primary school in Gateshead with approximately 360 pupils. The school has a strong record of supporting Early Career Teachers, with experienced year group leads and a clear induction structure already in place. Due to staffing movement, they are looking to appoint an ECT into a Year 3 class, initially on a flexible basis, with the clear intention of reviewing for a full-time role.

2. Planning and delivering lessons with guidance from the year group lead
3. Tracking pupil progress with structured support
4. Developing classroom management with mentoring
What’s Already in Place:
5. Shared planning across the year group
6. Weekly ECT mentor meetings
7. Strong TA support
8. Clear behaviour systems
Essential Requirements:
9. Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
10. ECT status or recently completed training
11. Willingness to learn and develop
Benefits That Really Stand Out:
12. Structured ECT support
13. Weekly pay
14. FREE CPD and safeguarding training
15. Strong potential for permanent contract
