Physics ECT – Enfield – September 2026
 
A forward-thinking, high-achieving secondary school with sixth form in Enfield is seeking a talented and driven Physics ECT to join their well-established Science department from September 2026. This is a permanent Physics ECT role within a school rated Outstanding by Ofsted, offering an exceptional environment for an early career practitioner to develop, grow, and build a long-term career in a genuinely supportive and academically ambitious setting.
 
About the School
This Enfield secondary school and sixth form has a well-earned reputation for scientific excellence and evidence-based classroom practice. The Science department delivers a broad, well-sequenced curriculum across KS3, KS4, and KS5, with strong GCSE and A-Level Physics outcomes and a thriving culture of enquiry and ambition. Behaviour is underpinned by clear, consistent whole-school systems - giving every Physics ECT the structure and confidence to focus on delivering outstanding lessons from day one. Enrichment provision including STEM clubs, Physics olympiad preparation, and university outreach programmes reflects the school's commitment to inspiring the next generation of scientific thinkers.
 
What the School Offers

• A fully structured ECT induction programme with dedicated mentoring and reduced timetable
• Comprehensive CPD with clear pathways into middle leadership and beyond
• Robust behaviour policy with strong pastoral and SLT support at every level
• Collaborative departmental planning within a high-achieving and well-resourced Science faculty
• A professional, research-informed culture that invests meaningfully in early career teachers

 
The Role
As a Physics ECT, you will deliver high-quality, knowledge-rich lessons across KS3 and KS4, with opportunities to contribute to A-Level Physics teaching as your confidence and experience grow. You will use assessment data to inform planning, track pupil progress, and contribute to departmental schemes of work and STEM enrichment activities. Building strong, positive relationships with pupils, colleagues, and parents will be central to your development as a Physics ECT in this school.
 
What the School is Looking For
This permanent Physics ECT position is best suited to candidates who:

• Hold UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), or are in the final stages of a UK-recognised teacher training programme
• Possess a strong academic background - a 2:1 degree or above in Physics or a closely related discipline from a reputable university, ideally Russell Group
• Can demonstrate teaching experience within a UK secondary school setting through placements or an NQT/ECT year
• Show clear evidence of structured lesson delivery and measurable pupil progress in Physics or across science disciplines
• Are confident working within established whole-school behaviour and assessment frameworks
• Are legally entitled to work in the UK - the school is unable to provide visa sponsorship

 
This role is open to candidates completing or having recently completed formal UK teacher training only. Candidates without QTS or equivalent UK school experience will not be considered.
 
Salary & Contract
Outer London MPS: £37,870 to £50,474. Salary will reflect ECT status on appointment, with clear progression through the pay scale as induction is completed.
