What does this mean for you?

Being part of a trust has it's advantages for a trainee at North East SCITT as it means you will be first to find out about jobs in our trust schools. 21% of our 2024 graduates secured teaching jobs at NELT schools and, since the Trust is expanding, this is likely to increase.
​​
In addition, as an Early Career Teacher (ECT) within our trust, you will be fully supported during your first year of teaching with high-quality mentoring and bespoke CPD packages through NELT Teaching School Hub.
