Job description

Bristol

Full-Time | Long-Term & Permanent Opportunities

September Start

All Secondary Subject Specialisms Welcome

I am recruiting ECTs across all subject specialisms to join mainstream secondary schools throughout Bristol.

Your first teaching role is important. It should be somewhere you feel supported, challenged and able to develop your own identity as a teacher. I work closely with a range of Bristol secondary schools and can help you explore opportunities based on your subject, teaching style and the type of school environment you're looking for.

Whether you're completing a PGCE, SCITT or other teacher training route, I'd love to hear from you.

I am interested in speaking with ECTs specialising in:

• English
• Maths
• Science including Biology, Chemistry and Physics
• History
• Geography
• Religious Education / RS
• MFL including French, Spanish and German
• PE
• Business & Economics
• Computer Science / ICT
• Design Technology
• Food Technology
• Art & Design
• Drama / Performing Arts
• Music
• PSHE and Humanities

Other secondary specialisms are also welcomed.

Depending on what you're looking for, opportunities can include:

• Flexible Supply
• Permanent teaching positions
• Long-term roles with the potential to become permanent
• Full-time positions across KS3 and KS4
• KS5 teaching opportunities for relevant subject areas

Rather than taking the first vacancy available, the aim is to find a school where you can develop, gain confidence and enjoy the beginning of your teaching career.

As an Early Career Teacher, you will:

• Plan and deliver engaging lessons within your subject specialism
• Teach students across KS3 and KS4, with potential KS5 opportunities
• Develop positive relationships with students
• Create an inclusive and engaging classroom environment
• Assess progress and provide constructive feedback
• Adapt teaching for different abilities and SEND needs
• Develop confident and consistent classroom management
• Work collaboratively with your department and wider school community
• Continue developing your teaching practice through mentoring, feedback and CPD

This is suitable for:

• Trainee teachers due to achieve QTS
• Newly qualified Early Career Teachers
• PGCE students approaching the end of their training
• SCITT and school-based teacher trainees
• ECTs who haven't yet found the right school
• Teachers wanting to explore different Bristol schools before deciding where to begin their career

You don't need years of experience. Schools understand that you're at the beginning of your career and are looking for potential, enthusiasm and a willingness to develop.

• QTS or pending QTS
• Relevant degree and/or strong subject knowledge
• Experience gained through your teaching placements
• Passion for your subject and education
• A reflective and enthusiastic approach to teaching
• Commitment to inclusive education
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Enhanced Child-Only DBS, or willingness to apply for one

Starting your ECT journey can feel like a big decision, and finding the right school matters.

You'll have access to:

• Secondary teaching o
