Start Date: May / June 2026
Daily Rate: £130 - £260 (Paid to Scale for long-term roles)
Are you an ECT finishing your final placement this Spring? Don't wait until September to start your career. May and June are the "Golden Months" for Early Career Teachers. By starting now, you can gain 6-8 weeks of additional classroom leadership experience, directly strengthening your CV and making you the standout candidate for permanent September contracts.
The "Early Bird" Advantage: Why Start in May/June?
Top-Up Your CV: Gain half a term of "lead teacher" experience to prove you can handle a classroom independently before your induction year begins.
The "Inside Track" for September: Many schools use May and June to "trial" teachers for permanent vacancies. Get your foot in the door before the job is even posted.
Wide School Exposure: Experience different school settings across Blackpool and the Fylde to find the environment that truly fits your teaching style.
QTS Transition: If your QTS is still processing, you can begin as an Instructor or HLTA at highly competitive rates, transitioning to a full teacher rate the moment your status is confirmed.
