ECT Primary Teacher

Tradewind Recruitment are currently looking to expand our pool of enthusiastic and motivated Early Career Teachers (ECTs) to work across a range of welcoming primary schools in Bolton and Bury. If you are looking to gain valuable classroom experience, secure your first teaching role, or explore different school settings before committing to a permanent post, this is an excellent opportunity to begin your career with the support of a leading education recruitment agency.

We work with a wide variety of primary schools, including single-form entry schools, larger academies, and Multi-Academy Trusts, offering flexible opportunities to suit your career goals and availability. Whether you are seeking day-to-day supply work, longer-term placements, maternity cover roles, sickness cover, or permanent teaching opportunities, we can help you find the right fit.

Supply teaching is an ideal route for ECTs who want to build confidence, strengthen classroom practice, and experience different year groups, leadership styles, and school environments. It can also be a great stepping stone into your first permanent role, with many schools using supply placements as a way to identify future staff members.

We are looking for adaptable, positive, and committed teachers who are passionate about making a difference in primary education. You may be newly qualified or completing your teacher training and looking to secure work for the new academic year.

Opportunities available include:

• Day-to-day supply teaching across EYFS, KS1 and KS2
• Long-term class teacher placements
• Maternity cover contracts
• Long-term sickness cover
• PPA and intervention cover roles
• Permanent teaching vacancies
• Opportunities within Multi-Academy Trusts across Bolton and Bury

Working through Tradewind offers you the chance to develop your experience while maintaining flexibility over when and where you work. We take time to understand your preferences and match you with schools where you can succeed.

To be considered, you will need:

• Qualified Teacher Status or pending QTS completion
