The NTS was announced last year by education secretary Nicky Morgan and is being touted by the Department for Education (DfE) as a strategy to help tackle the recruitment crisis.
The aim is for the NTS to recruit “top teaching talent” and match them to schools that are struggling to attract and keep teachers. Ms Morgan has pledged to recruit 1,500 teachers by 2020.
The NTS is due to launch nationally in 2017, but the pilot is initially attempting to recruit 100 teachers to start work this September. It covers eligible primary and secondary schools in Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire.
