As an Early Career teacher (previously known as Newly Qualified Teacher) in the East Riding of Yorkshire, you’ll enjoy a carefully designed induction, offering comprehensive personal and professional support throughout your first two years of teaching.

Early Career Teachers are supported in schools through the two year Early Career Framework induction programme. This can be delivered through the Vantage Teaching School Hub or by the school you are working in, both approaches include high-quality material, underpinned by the ECF, which will support you to develop the knowledge and skills for a successful and fulfilling career in teaching.

As an Early Career Teacher you will receive 10% additional time out of the classroom in your first year and 5% in your second year. During this time you will receive training and complete self study. You will have a dedicated mentor who will help to guide you through the induction period and plan your professional development in readiness for your final assessment at the end of Year Two.

Each year over a hundred teachers begin their careers in the East Riding and have a successful induction. Here are some of the comments they have made:

"I have a fantastic mentor and wonderful colleagues. We met regularly for mentor meetings, phase meetings etc."

"Throughout my NQT induction period I have received continual support from my tutor and other members of staff within my school. The NQT training events provided have helped support me through the year especially the chances to talk to other NQT's and discuss our experiences."

"I have received fantastic support from my school. Staff have been supportive and have assisted me whenever I have needed it."

"I have enjoyed my induction period and have felt fully supported by all of my colleagues during this time. During lockdown, we implemented an online platform for maths which has helped us keep track of students' progress and I have felt supported making decisions about Entry Level and GCSE grades for my Year 11 class."

"I have received sufficient support from staff when adapting to home learning, particularly from my department and the headteacher has been amazing in providing information and guidance when I have been in to support children during wider school closures. I have had regular contact with my department and mentor to discuss any issues that may have arisen but everything has been organised very well."

We look forward to welcoming you to the East Riding and supporting you through your first years in the classroom.
