No ECT Job For September? Here's How to Find Work

Even this close to the start of term, there are still permanent teaching positions up for grabs. This means you need to get your CV and personal statement in tip-top shape as soon as possible. 

Ensure that you have written both documents in plain, accurate English. Foreground your prior achievements and clarify any gaps in your employment history. 

Take the time to go over your CV with a fine toothcomb; you will put yourself in pole position to find a last-minute job. 

When schools look for new talent, many turn to recruitment agencies.  

Agencies pool their candidates according to their experience and desired roles. When you enter one of these pools, a recruitment consultant will have your details on file. They can then match you up with local schools looking for NQTs. 

Talent pools can make job finding much more efficient. Our specialist ECT Pool is here to expand your job opportunities.  

You can still advance your career prospects even if you’re not in full-time work this September. You just need to make wise use of the time you would have been spending in school. 

CPD training can develop your understanding of contemporary teaching practice and pedagogy. Even a few courses will provide you with new insights that will make you a better teacher. 

You’ll leave with certifications that will maximise your employability. 

Teaching Personnel's CPD Academy offers subsidised CPD training to all our candidates. All you have to do is register with us.
