Early Career Teacher (ECT) : Primary : Kings Lynn and Surrounding Areas
Are you an enthusiastic Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking to kickstart your teaching career with maximum flexibility and real classroom support? Whether you want to explore different school environments through day-to-day supply before taking on your first full-time role, or you are looking to secure a long-term placement to complete your induction terms, we have fantastic opportunities tailored to your goals.
We are currently partnering with a group of primary schools, infant schools, and academies in Kings Lynn and across the surrounding West Norfolk area. We are seeking ambitious, dedicated ECTs across EYFS, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2 who are ready to gain invaluable experience, hone their classroom delivery, and make an impact in vibrant local schools.
Whether you are completing your initial teacher training this term or looking for your next stepping stone, we provide the platform, guidance, and network to help you succeed.
Choose Your Ideal Way Of Working
Day-to-Day Supply
Build confidence and experience across a variety of school settings, age groups, and catchments without the immediate commitment of full-time planning and assessment. It is a fantastic way to discover which key stage or school ethos suits you best while enjoying complete control over your working schedule.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
