ECT Jobs

You’ve finished (or are about to finish) your hard-earned teaching qualification, now you need a job. However, the statistics are worrying. We’re told that 4 in 10 Newly Qualified Teacher jobs are quit in their first year. Usually, it’s because they have not found the right job in the right school. They haven’t found a job they love.

That’s where Supply Desk comes in. Staffed by ex-teachers, we know how important it is for early careers teachers to find a teaching job in a school that suits their classroom style and educational philosophy. Some ECTs prefer to start their careers as supply or fixed-contract teachers. Other ECTs prefer to work in a permanent teaching job right from the start, to fully immerse themselves in the culture and community of their new school. Whichever path you choose, whichever type of school you want to work in, if you love teaching Supply Desk can help you find a teaching job you’ll love.

Becoming an overseas teacher in the UK can offer a multitude of benefits, both personally and professionally. Here are a few compelling reasons:

Teaching in the UK provides an excellent opportunity for cultural immersion. Engaging with diverse communities and experiencing the rich history and traditions of the UK can be a rewarding and enlightening experience. The UK education system is highly regarded worldwide. Working as a teacher in the UK allows for exposure to innovative teaching methods, access to professional development opportunities, and the chance to collaborate with experienced educators.

The experience gained as an overseas teacher in the UK can be a valuable asset for future career opportunities. The UK’s education system is recognised for its high standards, and having teaching experience in such a setting can enhance your resume and open doors to further career advancement. The UK’s central location makes it easy to explore neighbouring countries during weekends and holidays. This is particularly appealing for those who enjoy travel and want to make the most of their time abroad.

Overall, becoming an overseas teacher offers a unique blend of professional development, cultural enrichment, and personal growth, making it a fulfilling and enriching experience for educators seeking a new and dynamic chapter in their careers.
