Early Career Teachers (ECTs)

ECT recruitment

The London Borough of Redbridge no longer operate a central recruitment process for Early Career Teachers. 

Vacancies will be advertised on the Redbridge website and individual school websites.  You may also find opportunities advertised on the TES and DfE School Jobs websites.

ECT induction

A two year Early Career Framework induction for Early Career Teachers follows initial teacher training and the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).  For teachers wishing to continue teaching in maintained schools or non-maintained special schools this is a mandatory requirement.

Statutory induction combines a personalised programme of development and support linked to the Early Career Framework, with the monitoring and assessment of performance against the Department for Education Teaching Standards.
