Early Career Teachers (ECTs) – Flexible Primary Teaching Opportunities Across Somerset & Devon
Are you an enthusiastic Early Career Teacher eager to build experience, gain confidence and explore different school settings? With increasing demand across Taunton, Wellington, Bridgwater, Highbridge, Newton Abbot and Torquay, we are supporting schools with a high volume of flexible and long‑term roles—perfect for ECTs ready to kick‑start their teaching career.


Your new company
You will be working with a specialist education recruitment partner that supports a wide network of primary schools across Somerset and South Devon. As schools continue to request additional staffing daily, we can offer ECTs a steady flow of opportunities that help you develop your skills, build your experience and discover the type of school environment that suits you best.

Our schools are supportive, welcoming and committed to helping Early Career Teachers succeed.


Your new role
As an Early Career Teacher, you will have the opportunity to teach across EYFS, KS1 or KS2—depending on your preference and strengths. Your role may include:
  • Delivering engaging, well‑planned lessons
  • Supporting pupils’ academic and social development
  • Building confidence with behaviour management strategies
  • Adapting quickly to different classroom environments
  • Gaining hands‑on experience through short‑term, long‑term or flexible roles

Whether you want flexibility while you complete your induction, or you’re eager to explore a variety of schools before committing to a permanent post, we can offer daily supply, block bookings and long‑term placements.


What you'll need to succeed
To flourish in these roles, you will need:
  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • A proactive, positive attitude
  • The ability to build rapport with staff and pupils
  • A desire to learn, grow and develop your teaching practice
  • Flexibility and confidence when trying new environments

If you’re an ECT looking for valuable experience, this is an ideal route to strengthen your classroom practice while discovering what type of school feels right for you.


What you'll get in return
  • A wide range of opportunities across Taunton, Wellington, Bridgwater, Highbridge, Newton Abbot and Torquay
  • Flexibility to choose when and where you work
  • Competitive daily pay
  • Support from a dedicated consultant who understands the needs of ECTs
  • The chance to build experience toward your induction
  • Opportunities to secure long‑term roles and permanent positions as your confidence grows
