Securing the perfect teaching job begins with exceptional support

It begins with an initial 15-minute chat where we’ll discuss what work you are looking for and in what area. You’ll receive transparent information about what to expect regarding job types and salary.

From there, we’ll work until we find something matching your requirements.

We understand we won't place every educator, but we hope to be able to provide usual support and tips to help you settle into London and find the role you are seeking.

We aim to build lasting relationships to ensure we are your first point of call in the future, or you will be happy to refer other teachers to speak with us when they are looking for a new role.

We partner with all school types across Primary and Secondary levels. Currently we have consultants working across London and Surrey.

If you are looking for Teaching or Support work in any of the below settings we will be best placed to find the exact school close to home.

• Private Independent Schools

• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) Schools

We’re dedicated to making your transition to England as smooth and stress-free as possible.

If you are looking for a role before arriving in England, we are best placed to assist by settling up virtual interviews with schools that are within an area that you specify.

If you are unsure about whether to do Supply or Long term work, one of our dedicated consultants will take the time to talk you through the various options to make the best decision for your unique situation.

The support your consultant provides extends well beyond finding work to ensure your time living in London is the best possible experience over all. This can include support finding a place to live, where to travel to and when, what local events are worth attending and useful tips to make sure you understand the tax and pay systems.

All these little bits go along way to enhancing your experience living and working in London.

We work with a range of mainstream and alternative provision schools, so we’ll be able to assist you in finding an ideal school clsoe to home.

We don't believe in guaranteed contracts, reason being, we only want to offer you supply teaching positions in suitable schools close to your home.

We currently work with many of the top private and public schools within London.

During the onboarding process our team will understand your needs, and once cleared we will only contact you about positions in schools close to where you live, eliminating as much time and travel cost as possible.

The most important thing about being a successful teaching assistant is having a desire to want to work with and be a positive role model for young people.

For clarity from the start, for us to be able to clear you for work, we will need to obtain a minimum of two references from everywhere you've worked in the past 24 months. We will also require a police clearance from every country you have lived in for greater that 12 months, within the last 10 years. We can assist you to obtain these, but you will need to be to one to process them.

We currently can't assist all overseas teachers who require a sponsored role.

Securing a sponsored teaching position without being in the country poses additional changes for teachers, but certainly isn't impossible. We suggest reviewing this information from the government website to assist you in understanding the process ahead.

For experienced teachers from across the world, we suggest look at enrolling in a Masters of Education like this one from Brunel University. Upon completion you will receive full right to work for two years to enable you to settle in England.
