About this Role
The BDMAT ECT Pool – Securing the Best Talent Early
At Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust (BDMAT), we
know that great teachers make the greatest difference. That’s why we aim to secure
the services of the very best Early Career Teachers (ECTs) as early as possible
for our schools.
What is the ECT Pool?
The ECT Pool is a central recruitment process for
teachers who will begin their careers in September 2026. Instead of applying to
individual schools, you apply once to join the BDMAT ECT Pool. Successful
candidates are guaranteed a teaching position within one of our 19 schools
(18 primary and 1 secondary) across Birmingham, Solihull, and North
Warwickshire.
Why a Pool?
- Efficiency for Candidates – One application, one
interview process, multiple opportunities.
- Strategic for the Trust – We can match the right
teacher to the right school based on:
- Recruitment needs across our schools.
- Your strengths, skills, and
interests.
- Early Security – Successful applicants know
they have a job secured well in advance, giving peace of mind and time to
prepare.
How Does It Work?
- Apply to the ECT Pool – Submit your application
through our central recruitment process.
- Selection & Interview – We assess your potential,
character, and alignment with our values: LOVE, HOPE, WISDOM.
- Offer & Placement – If successful, you receive an
offer to join the Trust. Your specific school placement will be confirmed
later, based on:
- Where your skills will have the
greatest impact.
- The needs of our schools.
- Your ambitions, preferences and
desires.
- Induction & Support – You will start your career
with a structured two-year ECF programme, a dedicated mentor, and
access to Trust-wide CPD.
Our Commitment
We recruit for character and potential, not just experience. If you share our passion for putting children first and have the drive to grow, we will provide the training and support to help you become an outstanding teacher.
IMPORTANT: This role is for an ECT position at a BDMAT school. It is not necessarily for a role at St. Michael's, Handsworth.
