As a Newly Qualified Teacher, or an NQT as we more commonly refer to, we appreciate that you have so much drive, enthusiasm and an abundance to offer in a busy learning environment; shaping up to be the most inspirational educators. So we want to help you out!

As an NQT, you will no doubt be weighing up what type of teaching role you want and what / where your ideal setting will be. Would you prefer a small, rural primary school, or a large academy in a bustling city? Or a specialist SEN provision? 

The beauty of registering with us during your final year is that you will gain exposure to as many different settings and teaching roles as you like, helping to develop your experience and enhance your teaching skills - all whilst still being able to work towards your Induction whilst on supply / long-term positions. 

So, can you complete your Induction whilst on supply? 

Yes you can! You can complete your Induction over three terms in three different schools or should we be able to secure you a long-term position of a full academic year in one school, this will also enable you to complete your Induction. Only placements of one full term will count towards your Induction, and you need to complete the full time equivalent of one full academic year. For example, if you work part-time on supply then you will need to serve induction for two academic years. For the latest NQT guidance on Induction, visit the National Union of Teachers Induction Guide here.

We also have a permanent division who can help alleviate the pressure and work hard on your behalf to help secure your ideal permanent role. No more filling out multiple application forms and scouring lots of different job sites, we take care of all of that for you.
