Job description

Primary ECT | Supportive, Friendly & Nurturing School | Newham | September 2025

Are you a Primary ECT looking for a supportive school to complete your ECT years? If so, Ryan at EdEx may have the perfect Primary ECT vacancy for September!

We have worked with this Newham-based Primary School for the last 12 months. During this time, we have visited the school twice, meeting the Headteacher (who is fabulous), the SLT, support staff, and pupils.

The Headteacher was part of the "founding family" over 8 years ago and has since taken the school from strength to strength. The school is not only academically successful but also child-led and pupil-first in everything they do. The Headteacher is passionate, lovely, and a real powerhouse to work with.

Key highlights of the school include:

• Friendly and approachable staff, all working collaboratively for pupils'
• Focus on friendship and support — everyone has a partner or friend at the school to talk to
• Strong ECT mentorship and support
• Wellbeing events across the school and trust
• SLT flexibility to support teachers' wellbeing and rest
• Open communication to prevent burnout and address struggles early
• Marking parties — staff support each other by marking each other's books
• Flexible PPA time with a dedicated PPA teacher
• Additional support staff such as Speech and Language Therapist (4 days/week) and School Counsellor (5 days/week)
• Large outdoor spaces, nurture and sensory rooms, and well-equipped classrooms

The Headteacher is seeking a flexible Primary ECT who can teach across KS1 and KS2. She prefers to observe teachers in action and then discuss to find the best fit based on your strengths and the needs of each class or year group.

This Primary ECT role starts in September 2025 and is a permanent position directly employed by the school. Interviews and lesson observations are available from now until the May resignation deadline. We encourage you to apply and speak with Ryan about this or other suitable schools.
