What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from specialists who:

1. Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
2. Have experience in a classroom or similar setting
3. Can communicate clearly and manage a class confidently
4. Hold a Child Workforce DBS or are willing to obtain one
5. Are eligible to work in the UK.

What’s in It for You?

1. Competitive daily pay through PAYE.
2. Access to consistent work and potential guaranteed pay (subject to availability)
3. Supportive and friendly team to help match you with the right schools
4. Opportunities for CPD and networking
5. Pension contributions
