Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs)
NQTS - DON'T RUSH INTO YOUR FIRST JOB!
Trying to find that first position as an NQT can be a
daunting task. It is essential that your first job appointment
is right for you! Working your way through the vast array of
information and guidance can become overwhelming. Too often,
NQTs rush to cut out the complexities of the search, choosing
instead to settle for the first job that is first offered.
Sadly, reports of NQTs leaving the profession after two or
three years are all too common. There are many examples of NQTs
who have jumped into a position, only to find that they made
the wrong decision. Having left then the school, they found it
difficult to pick up the pieces of their induction and ended up
leaving the profession altogether.
The supply route to a job through randstad education could
offer you a much better option.
You simply register with us as a supply teacher and gain
experience in local schools. The schools get to know you and
you get to know them. You quickly build up a bank of schools in
which you enjoy teaching. When a long-term opening becomes
available in one of your favourite schools, due to maternity
cover or long-term sickness, you'll stand a good chance of
being appointed to the position. When a permanent job arises,
you are in a prime position. Many NQTs find this route to be a
successful way into their first teaching position.
Look at these advantages.
You leave the job searching to us. We'll take the strain out
of all that ploughing through advertisements in the press and
on the web, CV drafting and application form filling.
If you don't want to commit to a permanent job too soon,
supply teaching through Randstad Education offers a great way
to experience different schools and enjoy excellent rates of
pay.
We can help with induction arrangements too. You can
complete your induction year through supply teaching, provided
you work for complete terms at a single school.
