• The ability to follow pre‑set work while bringing your own creativity and energy to the classroom
• Clear communication, a proactive attitude, and the ability to build rapport with pupils and staff alike
• A minimum of 6 weeks' teaching experience in the UK

What we offer you

• Competitive weekly PAYE pay
• Roles tailored to your lifestyle, day‑to‑day or longer term
• Access to exclusive opportunities in great local schools
• A friendly, experienced consultant who listens (hi, I’m Jess)
• Free CPD and ongoing professional development
• A simple 'Refer a Friend' scheme
• A warm, supportive agency that genuinely cares about you and your journey
