For the last 16 years, the London Borough of Hounslow Primary Early Career Teacher (ECT) Pool has been the first point of contact for schools across the borough who are seeking newly qualified teachers (formerly known as the NQT Pool).

Our Primary ECT Pool is now open for appointments in Hounslow Primary Schools for September 2023.

95% of our schools are Good or Outstanding (Ofsted).

Hounslow is a great place to learn and to teach with results above the local and national averages. ECTs appointed to our borough stay longer with us than an average across the UK.

With our ECT Pool, it couldn't be easier to find your ideal first post:

• Save time with just 1 application to Hounslow Primary Schools.
• Choose your Key Stage (EYFS - KS1 - KS2)
• Choose your location (Chiswick - Brentford - Isleworth - Hounslow - Cranford - Heston - Bedfont - Hanworth - Feltham)
• No supporting statement - just answer 3 Key Questions.

"Everyone has been supportive since the day of my interview, so I feel really lucky to be working here and I’m glad to have relocated to London for this position. "

As the LA Employer, we support our schools with recruitment and retention of staff, including workload and well-being, as part of the wider School Effectiveness remit.

Once you have submitted your application, your application will be considered against the shortlisting criteria. Successfully shortlisted applicants will have their details matched with schools. Headteachers will invite applicants to interview in school.

You will be supported through the process by our dedicated Recruitment team with advice and information to help you find the right post for you.

Our Primary ECT Pool operates two phases.

Main phase closing date for applications: 31st January 2023

Second phase closing date for applications: 30th April 2023

Applications submitted between 31st January  - 30th April will be considered on an ongoing basis.
