Newly Qualified Primary Teachers - Chesterfield | ECT Opportunities 2026/27

Qualified as a Primary Teacher in 2026? Looking for your first teaching role around Chesterfield?

Tradewind Recruitment is currently looking for Primary ECTs who qualified in 2026 and are available for work throughout the 2026/27 academic year.

If you are living in Chesterfield or the surrounding area, we would love to hear from you.

Starting your teaching career is an exciting time, but deciding whether to go straight into a permanent position or gain more classroom experience first can be difficult. Working with Tradewind gives you the flexibility to do either.

Gain Paid Classroom Experience

Supply teaching is a fantastic way for ECTs to develop confidence and gain further classroom experience following their teacher training.

With Tradewind, you choose how much you work. You can:

• Work one day a week or every day
• Gain valuable paid classroom experience
• Experience different schools, year groups and teaching environments
• Take on day-to-day, short-term or longer-term placements
• Build your confidence before committing to a permanent position
• Fit teaching work around your own commitments
• Continue working flexibly while looking for your ideal permanent role

There is no requirement to commit to a fixed number of days. You choose your availability and we will work around you.

Looking for Your First Permanent Teaching Position?

Perhaps your goal is to secure a permanent teaching role and get your ECT induction underway.

Our Chesterfield team works closely with schools and academy trusts across the local area and can support you in finding permanent opportunities that are right for you.
