Early Career Teacher (ECT) - Primary - Stoke-on-Trent
£130-£160 per day · Weekly pay · Flexible Primary Teaching Opportunities
Finished your teacher training and looking for the right school to start your career?
Vision For Education are looking for Early Career Teachers (ECTs) to work across primary schools in Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and surrounding areas.
Whether you're still looking for your first permanent class, want to build experience before committing to a school, or need your next placement to continue your induction, we can help you get into local classrooms.
Opportunities for ECTs
We work with primary schools looking for teachers across EYFS, KS1 and KS2, with opportunities including:
- Day-to-day supply teaching
- Regular work with the same schools
- Half-term and full-term placements
- Longer-term roles that may support your ECT induction
- Potential permanent opportunities
Short-term supply can be a great way to build experience, but it doesn't automatically count towards your statutory ECT induction.
For longer placements, we'll make it clear whether the school can support your induction before you accept the role.
What you'll be doing
Depending on the booking, you'll:
- Teach classes across EYFS, KS1 or KS2
- Deliver lessons using work provided by the school on day-to-day bookings
- Manage the classroom and create a positive learning environment
- Build experience across different year groups and school settings
- Develop relationships with local schools that may lead to longer-term opportunities
For day-to-day supply, you'll generally arrive, teach the lessons provided and finish when the school day finishes - without taking planning home with you.
Pay and benefits
- £130-£160 per day, depending on experience and the role
- Paid weekly through PAYE
- Choose your availability, from one day per week to full-time
- Day-to-day and longer-term teaching opportunities
- Guaranteed pay scheme (subject to criteria)
- Pension contributions after a qualifying period
- Full AWR (Agency Workers Regulations) compliance
- Free CPD and safeguarding training
- Career support as you progress through your ECT years
- Refer-a-friend bonus
- Support from a dedicated Primary consultant
Who we're looking for
This could suit you if you:
- Qualified as a teacher in 2025 or 2026
- Haven't started your ECT induction yet
- Have completed part of your induction and are looking for your next school
- Want to experience different primary schools before committing long-term
- Have recently moved to the Stoke or Newcastle area
- Want flexible teaching work while looking for the right permanent position
