Just finished your PGCE and looking for your first teaching role?
Starting your career in teaching is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. If you're still looking for a September position, or you're unsure about committing to one school straight away, agency work can be a fantastic way to gain experience, build confidence and find the school that's right for you.
We're currently looking for enthusiastic Early Career Teachers (ECTs) to work across a range of welcoming primary schools in Cardiff and the surrounding areas from September.
Whether you're hoping for a long-term class teacher role or would prefer to start with day-to-day supply while you settle into teaching, we'd love to help you take that next step.
Many new teachers worry that agency work means unpredictable or short-term work, but that's not always the case. We work closely with schools across South Wales and regularly place ECTs into long-term positions, maternity covers and even permanent roles.
Some of the benefits include:
- The opportunity to experience a variety of schools, year groups and teaching styles before committing to a permanent position.
- Build your classroom confidence with real teaching experience in supportive school environments.
- Flexible working - choose the days that suit you or commit to full-time, long-term placements.
- A chance to find a school where you genuinely feel happy before accepting a permanent role.
- Excellent networking opportunities, allowing schools to get to know you before vacancies arise.
- Gain valuable experience across both KS1 and KS2, helping you discover where your strengths and interests lie.
- Competitive daily rates with weekly pay.
- Holiday pay.
- Free safeguarding and CPD training to continue developing your skills.
- Ongoing support from a dedicated education consultant who understands the challenges of starting your teaching career.
- Help preparing for interviews, CV advice and guidance throughout your job search.
- Opportunities in a wide range of schools, from small village primaries to larger city schools.
We're keen to hear from ECTs who are:
- Completing a Primary PGCE with QTS this summer or have recently qualified.
- Passionate about making a positive difference in children's learning.
- Enthusiastic, adaptable and eager to continue learning.
- Able to build positive relationships with pupils, staff and parents.
- Confident delivering engaging and inclusive lessons.
- Committed to creating a safe, supportive and inspiring classroom environment.
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), or expected to achieve QTS before S
