Early Career Teachers (ECT)
Embarking on your career in education is a journey filled with opportunities as well as challenges, and as an Early Career Teacher (ECT) in England and Northern Ireland, Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) in Wales or Probationer in Scotland, you have a unique chance to shape the future of your students and the UK education system itself.
One of the most powerful tools at your disposal is joining a teacher trade union that has your best interests at heart, and represents you on the things that matter, including pay, conditions and recognition of the brilliant work you do. That’s where Community comes in.
We represent thousands of teachers across the UK, and ensure your rights are protected, providing a collective voice for positive change across the education system. We lobby at local and national levels to secure better pay, conditions and recognition for our members in the teaching profession.
