Job Description

Primary ECT | Merton, Croydon and Sutton – September 2025 starts!

 

**Calling all Trainee Primary Teachers completing a PGCE, School Direct, SCITT or Teach First!**

 

Are you currently qualifying as a Primary Teacher and keeping a close eye on ECT vacancies starting in September?

 

Balancing the demands of teacher training alongside the search for your ideal ECT position can be challenging. That’s where we come in. As London’s leading permanent consultancy, we aim to lighten the load, offering expert advice and guidance to help you to seamlessly secure your dream ECT role.

 

At Ribbons & Reeves, I specialise in connecting talented ECTs with supportive schools in Croydon, Sutton and Merton. With 12 years of experience in ECT recruitment, I’ve cultivated an exclusive network of outstanding Primary schools across London, all committed to providing excellent support for Early Career Teachers.

 

What we are looking for in an ECT:

  • A genuine enthusiasm for education and a love of working with children.
  • The ability to inspire and motivate pupils, developing a love for learning.
  • The resilience to handle the demands of teaching while remaining positive and solution-focused.
  • A willingness to learn from feedback and reflect on your practice.
  • Confidence in presenting ideas clearly and engagingly.
  • Confidence in managing behaviour and ensuring that all students feel safe and supported.
  • The ability to plan lessons effectively and stay on top of marking, assessments, and other responsibilities.
  • A willingness to work collaboratively with colleagues, sharing ideas and resources.
  • A dedication to creating an inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and supported.

 

If you can demonstrate the above qualities, we would love to hear from you today!

 

Interview opportunities are available for Primary ECTs across the entire age range e.g. EYFS, KS1 and KS2 who are on track to gain QTS by September 2025. We also will accept applications from Early Years Teachers who are working towards EYTS.

 

Interviews are taking place on a rolling basis. Schools will aim to have their recruitment finalised by May, so the sooner we start our process, the more opportunities we will be able to present to you.

 

How do we find you a Primary ECT role?

  • CV submission
  • Initial qualification call with one of our expert education consultants.
  • Completion of relevant safeguarding and safer recruitment checks through our online portal.
  • Matching process where you are presented with suitable interview opportunities and decide which ones to proceed with.
  • Interview preparation call.
  • Interview day [and hopefully a subsequent job offer].
  • On-boarding support to ensure offer letter and contract are received
  • Time to celebrate your new ECT role!
  • (No fees applicable, even if we help you to secure your new role)
