Welcome to Essex

Essex welcomes well qualified, enthusiastic and committed teachers working in all phases of education to join our dedicated teaching force of 10,000 teachers. We recognise the value of, and seek to achieve a diverse workforce which includes people from different backgrounds, with different skills and abilities

Essex is a diverse county providing a wide range of educational opportunities to young people and adults in over 570 establishments in a variety of geographical settings. We have one of the largest school populations in the country with well over 200,000 children. Our schools are varied from primaries in country villages to large secondary schools in major centres like Colchester, Chelmsford, Basildon and Harlow.

Our aim is to improve the life chances for all children in Essex by raising achievement, developing social and educational inclusion and ensuring the welfare of our young people. Our vision is that every child and young person will have a life of quality, free from fear, depression and danger, with a sense of belonging, worth and achievement.

We want young people to develop a love of learning. To achieve this we need teachers of the highest quality, with ability and imagination, who will inspire and challenge our children to achieve their potential and contribute to their changing world. We hope that our teachers will remain life long learners; we encourage and support them to be reflective practitioners.

We believe that teachers are entitled to the best Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities available. Essex provides our teachers, schools, children’s centres and other educational settings with a high level of support. Our School Improvement and Early Years Services provide a range of CPD opportunities specifically for newly qualified teachers and advice and support from highly professional staff. Our SEN and Pupils with Additional Needs Services support schools and other educational settings in meeting particular needs and developing inclusive practice. We hope you will take advantage of these when appointed. Visit our website at www.e-gfl.org.
