Secondary NQT

Are you a Secondary NQT looking for your first role?

Are you a Secondary NQT worried about your induction year?

Are you a Secondary NQT struggling to find a permanent contract with the council?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then look no further! Whether you're looking for a short or long-term role in Cardiff, Academics can help! We are one of the preferred suppliers in the area, so we are inundated with requests for work for the 2025/26 academic year. At Academics (agency) we understand the struggle finding and interviewing for permanent roles. Therefore, we specialise in providing long-term roles to Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs), and supporting NQTs through the induction process. For example, we will allocate a dedicated NQT mentor that will be on hand throughout the academic year, and we will help log/track your sessions. In summary, as an NQT you can benefit from our bespoke NQT support programme. We can also provide short-term supply if you're looking for flexibility after a stressful year on the PGCE. If this option resonates with you, then we have a Guaranteed Work Scheme that ensures you get income every day. Short-term supply is a great opportunity to experience a wide range of schools to see which school has the right ethos, and is appropriate to your liking. In turn, it gives you a better understanding on which permanent roles to apply for (or not!) in the future.
