What can an ECT expect in Ely?
Ely is a good place to start teaching. It's a friendly small city with fast links to Cambridge, and the area's growth means schools are recruiting for the long term.
Options include an 11–18 college, three 11–16 schools nearby, special schools and around 19 primary, infant and junior schools, many in multi-academy trusts with their own ECT training programmes.
ECTs complete a two-year statutory induction with a reduced timetable, a mentor and training based on the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework. Short-term supply of less than a term doesn't count towards induction, but placements of a term or more can.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and teach well-structured lessons in your phase or subject
- Take part in your school's induction and mentoring programme
- Build strong behaviour management and assessment skills
- Adapt teaching for pupils with SEND
- Work with colleagues, parents and support staff
- Reflect on your teaching and act on feedback
Who we're looking for
- Newly qualified teachers who have just gained QTS
- ECTs looking for a school to complete their induction
- Trainees finishing their training this year
- Overseas-trained teachers starting their career in England
Frequently asked questions
Can supply work count towards my ECT induction?
Placements of a term or more can count if the school can provide induction. Short-term supply under a term does not.
Will I get a mentor?
Yes. All ECTs on statutory induction get a mentor and a reduced timetable for two years.
How quickly can I start?
Once your registration and safeguarding checks are complete, many teachers start within days.
