I qualified three years ago. I have struggled to get an ECT role because no one prepared me for it.

I’m a teacher in Scotland (secondary English) and I had to teach a lesson! It’s more common than not now!

I’m 6 years out and still not got a permanent contract in Scotland. So disheartening.

Finished probation year last year, now working as an EAL CA. It’s been so tough applying for jobs, or the lack thereof

In Scotland I’ve completed 3 interviews which involved teaching as part of the process (albeit about 13/14 years ago)

or there's me who graduated in England and moved to Scotland, I don't qualify to be placed in a school so it's next to impossible to me as I'm up against all odds!

I moved to Edinburgh last year and applied to over 70 teaching jobs. Didn’t get a single interview so moved back to England and got a job within a week

In the UK once we finish our PGCE/QTS we can start applying to schools as ECT’s. (1/2)

I've just finished my ECT in England, and I'm considering moving back home to Edinburgh. Would you say there are job shortages across the board or more so for those finishing their probation year?

So sorry it’s like that in Scotland! To have a job straight out of uni is great BUT for it to only be guaranteed for a year only 😱 That’s crazy!

Just finished my first ECT year in England - but grew up in Scotland! It’s crazy chatting to my teacher friends in Scotland and comparing how different teaching is atm! Especially the process for jobs

Mrs F | Primary Teacher 🍎 :
Okay SOME places have teaching interviews where you’re required to teach - I did say I hadn’t heard of it before, now I have! Please be kind, it was only my experience 🥰

There’s multiple authorities where you have to teach a lesson. I’ve done it in borders, Midlothian & Dundee.

Oo that’s interesting, I don’t think I would’ve liked have a school picked for me ! I guess it takes some stress away from finding a job for first year though
