Where to find teaching roles? Norfolk or Wales

RedfordML

Just wondering where teaching jobs are advertised? 

Also, my partner has said he would consider working in Wales and as a family we move for 2025, September, but we’ve heard mixed on if you have to speak Welsh? 

Reality, it’s Primary school jobs but my partner has worked and qualified in a special complex needs school so opens more doors? 

Thanks if you have any ideas/advice? 

We are thinking Norfolk or Wales for varying reasons, but would be one of these two first choice.

Parts of Wales are Welsh speaking but a lot are not (born and bred in North Wales.
For jobs try Times Educational Supplement or individual Councils own websites

These two, definitely. I don't know what the situation is with academies, but ANY local authority job will appear on the LA website.

It's also worth looking at individual school websites.

State or independent?

Personally I'd be careful applying for an independent school as not all have the same terms and conditions of state schools for pay and pensions.

Need to be careful with academies as well as not all of them have the same T's and C's.

New curriculum in Wales means you need to learn some Welsh, but they are so desperate for teachers they are not going to refuse to hire you. 
They will just get you learning the real basics! This is assuming you are moving south Wales, which is more English than the North and mid.

Completely agree about looking before you leap, but some independent schools pay above state salaries and have membership of the TPS. They may also offer a hugely better environment in terms of facilities, pupils etc.

Is this a particular area of Wales? 

Also, is this Primary or Secondary? 

Who do you apply through for wales based jobs?
