We know our colleagues are our most important asset and we are aware that our employees are critical to us in fulfilling our vision of flourishing for all. Flourishing adults are championed, supported, cherished and developed and the Trust seeks every opportunity by which to do this.
We believe that teachers deserve high-quality professional development throughout their careers, particularly in the first years of teaching when the learning curve is steepest. As an Early Career Teacher in our Trust, we will enable you to develop the knowledge, practices and working habits that will set you up for a fulfilling and successful career in teaching.
All Early Career teachers are entitled to a two-year induction and development package based on the Early Career Framework as outlined by The Department for Education. During this time, you will receive protected non-contact time and work with your mentor and coach to develop all aspects of your role as a class teacher. In addition, we offer a range of networking opportunities with other early career teachers across our Trust where you will be able to connect with other teachers in the same stage of their career, share experiences and hear from expert colleagues in areas which are relevant to your classroom practice.
All colleagues in our Trust can access additional training and career development opportunities through our Communities of Improvement offer. Our offer is funded centrally and changes each year depending on need but we aim to ensure all colleagues have the opportunity to progress and develop in whatever areas they wish to pursue.
