Where do they advertise teaching jobs ...

... in Wales?

Am I being really daft? I've recently moved to Wales and am looking at getting a new teaching job but The TES literally has one vacancy in Swansea, one in Cardiff, etc. Is there a different source of job adverts in Wales.
I'm originally from the SE and TES would always be my go to Confused

Local council website?

Clearly I've been out of work too long and my brain has dried up because that's definitely an obvious place to look Blush thank you

I left teaching five years ago so things may have changed since then, but we all used to use eteach.com.

Don't forget that jobs tend to crop up at certain times of year.
Contact any agencies?

Thank you! Eteach is exactly the sort of thing I was after!

Go onto the local council website. Cardiff will redirect you to eteach. It is very difficult to find jobs in Cardiff and south Wales area. Good luck.

From what I hear very few jobs come up in Wales - they don't have OFSTED and people tend to be more settled. It's also not the right time of year to look - there should be more later in the year hopefully.

Wales have ESTYN. Different name same concept.

BigcatLittlecat · 16/11/2016 22:31

But we do have ESTYN which has 4 weeks notice!

Make contact with your local schools in person. Drop in a CV, make an appointment to see the head, let them know you are local and available. Wales is far less driven by agencies than England.

Thanks, that explains a lot. I did wonder why there were so few vacancies. Usually in the SE there would be a load of January start jobs advertised now (or maybe a bit earlier...)
I'm happy Wales isn't driven by agencies, I never had a good experience using an agency when I was recruiting staff previously so it would feel unnatural to me to join one. Maths is my subject and there was such a lack of maths teachers!
Wow, 4 weeks notice for an Estyn inspection... sounds dreamy

Yes but Estyn isn't supposed to be as harsh as OFSTED. 4 weeks notice is ages. Might be wrong here but don't think they have SATS either?
