Our expertise in supporting ECTs
At Athona Education we have extensive experience helping Early Career Teachers (ECTs and newly qualified teachers) take their first steps in teaching.
We have supported countless ECTs as they begin their careers helping them find teaching roles in primary and secondary schools across Essex, East London and Suffolk where they can grow professionally and feel confident in their work.
By taking the time to understand your personality, career goals and what matters most to you in a school we use our knowledge and insight to match you with roles that are the right fit from day one.
Here is how we support ECTs and why so many choose to work with us.
Flexible Opportunities
We understand that Early Career Teachers have different needs at different stages of their career. That is why we offer a range of teaching opportunities including daily supply, long term assignments, part time and full time contracts and permanent roles.
Whether you want to gain experience across schools, complete your induction or secure a permanent teaching position we can help you find a role that fits your career goals and personal preferences.
Benefits of working with us
Starting your career can feel overwhelming but you will not be doing it alone. Our consultants work closely with you to identify the kind of environment where you will perform at your best, and we are trusted by schools across East London, Essex and Suffolk to introduce strong ECTs ready to make a positive impact.
We also help reduce the admin involved in multiple applications and compliance checks. Your dedicated consultant will guide you through each stage, making the process simpler and faster.
In short, we open up more teaching opportunities, reduce pressure and our service is completely free.
