ECT Primary Teacher

ECT Primary Teacher – Leeds & Wakefield

Are you an ECT Primary Teacher looking to gain valuable, varied experience across local schools while maintaining a healthy work–life balance?

We are working with a wide range of primary schools across Leeds and Wakefield and are seeking passionate, motivated ECT Primary Teachers to provide day-to-day and long-term supply cover across KS1 and KS2.

Supply teaching is an excellent opportunity for ECTs to build confidence, broaden experience, and explore different school settings before committing to a permanent role — all while being fully supported every step of the way.

The Role

As an ECT Primary Teacher, you will:

• Deliver engaging lessons across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2
• Adapt your teaching style to suit different year groups and school environments
• Teach your specialist year group where possible, with opportunities to work across others
• Follow school policies and maintain high standards of teaching and behaviour management

Roles range from daily supply to short, medium, and long-term placements, depending on your preferences and availability.

What We’re Looking For

To be considered, you must have:

• PGCE or equivalent with QTS
• Experience teaching in UK primary schools (ideally across KS1 & KS2)
• Strong curriculum knowledge and flexibility across subjects
• The ability to quickly build positive relationships with pupils and staff
• A proactive, adaptable, and enthusiastic approach

A full UK driving licence is advantageous but not essential.

Pay & Benefits

• Competitive daily rates: £150-£180 per day
• 24/7 support from experienced education consultants
• Ongoing feedback and career guidance tailored to ECTs
• Opportunities to network with a variety of schools
• Flexible work that fits around your lifestyle and career goals

Additional Requirements

• Two professional references (requested prior to registration)
• Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service
  (If not registered, full support provided)
