Early Career Teacher (ECT) – Primary School
Full Time – Permanent and Temporary – September 2026
Salary: M1-M6 Teacher Pay Scale
Are you a trainee primary teacher ready to step confidently into your first classroom this September?
Do you want to begin your ECT journey in a Sheffield primary school where support, development and behaviour standards are already exceptional?
Would you like to secure your ideal role now, ahead of the competitive summer recruitment rush?
KPI Education is working closely with a range of high-performing primary schools across Sheffield and the wider South Yorkshire region who are actively seeking exceptional Early Career Teachers (ECTs) for September starts. These schools are not waiting until the last minute - they are securing top talent early.
Each school we work with offers something slightly different - from outstanding leadership teams and strong behaviour cultures, to creative curricula and nurturing environments. This means we can match you to a setting that genuinely aligns with your teaching style, strengths and long-term ambitions, whether that’s EYFS, KS1 or KS2.
What’s on offer:
• Teacher Pay Scale starting from £32,916+ (M1, in line with national pay scales)
• Full-time, permanent ECT roles starting in September with structured induction programmes
• Dedicated ECT mentoring and strong in-school support systems
• High-quality CPD with clear pathways for career progression
• Opportunities across a variety of well-resourced, supportive Sheffield primary schools
• Positive, inclusive school communities where ECTs are set up to succeed
Who these schools are looking for:
• Trainee primary teachers on track to achieve QTS by September
• Strong academic profiles from recognised UK universities
• Evidence of successful teaching placements with real classroom impact
• A genuine passion for primary education and improving pupil outcomes
• Resilient, reflective and proactive individuals ready to grow quickly
• Future educators committed to developing into outstanding classroom practitioners
Why secure your role early?
Sheffield schools are already making key hiring decisions for September, and the strongest ECT candidates are being shortlisted now. Waiting until after May half term often means facing increased competition and fewer standout opportunities. Acting early puts you in control of where you begin your teaching career.
With KPI Education, you’ll receive full support throughout the process — from identifying the right school fit, to interview preparation, to securing a role where you can thrive from day one.
If you’re ready to secure your Early Career Teacher role for September, send your CV and covering letter to James at KPI Education today.
