ECTs

Early Career Teachers (ECTs)

With an established record of providing support and promoting growth, Hertfordshire is a hub for teachers and a great place to start your career. A competitive network of professional development assistance, alongside outstanding quality of life, draws hundreds of new teachers (ECTs) here every year.

In Hertfordshire the application process is easy. Our comprehensive recruitment website allows you to search and apply for teaching posts, and regular job alerts keep you up to date with opportunities in the area.

Your school will then register you on an Early Career Teacher Programme (ETCP)

On accepting a job you can begin your search for accommodation.

Once here, resources for ECTs are vast within the county.

In partnership with HFL education, Chiltern Teaching School Hub is the Appropriate Body for Hertfordshire (East & North). Our team will be responsible for quality assuring your induction and will work closely with you and your school to support with visits and queries.

Continual guidance and an assurance of high-quality training ensure that Hertfordshire's newest teachers feel supported in their first steps in school.
