ECT Teaching Jobs Blackburn | Start May or Sept 2026

Final year student? Work as a TA or HLTA in Blackbrun while your QTS is pending! Gain experience this Summer Term before your ECT year starts in September. Top rates & free CPD.

Are you a 3rd-year student finishing your final placement this Spring? Or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) ready to secure your first long-term post for September 2026?

At [Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk], we specialise in bridging the gap between university and your first classroom. We are currently seeking the next generation of teaching talent for primary schools across Blackburn and East Lancashire**.

  • Boost Your CPD: Use your free access to 2,500+ National College courses during the summer to add specialist certificates (like SEND or Phonics) to your CV before your ECT induction begins.
