Winter can be a magical and cosy time of year – but also challenging when you’ve got a school to manage! As the chill kicks in, so does cold and flu season, which creates a higher risk of sick leave absences. In our decades of experience recruiting for schools in South London, we know just how important it is to have a back-up when your teachers are struck with the sniffles!
Engaging a quality education recruiter helps schools overcome the unexpected during the colder months. However, good quality education recruitment agencies offer schools more than just sick leave cover.
We’ll detail the hands-on support an education recruiter can provide to your school and how you can beat the winter blues with a trusted agency by your side.
We understand that mornings in schools can be hectic – especially when you receive a last-minute call from a teacher who’s unwell!
At Future Education, we pride ourselves on responding to your early morning requests within 3-5 minutes, thanks to our extensive local network of qualified teachers and teaching assistants.
Whether you need cover for a single day or longer, we’re here to ensure your classrooms stay operational.
Every school has its own unique culture, and we know how important it is to find teachers who will fit right in. As we take time to get to know the teachers and schools we work with, we’re able to hand-pick the most suitable candidates for your teacher or teaching assistant positions.
Our team works quickly to match you with professionals who are ready to step in and deliver quality education quickly and effectively, with minimal disruption to you.
When reviewing education recruitment agencies, it’s wise to focus on those with a strong reputation for managing compliance for the schools they serve.
Our dedicated Safeguarding & Compliance team rigorously vets our teachers and teaching assistants, so they’re fully ready to work from the moment they arrive. We run all safeguarding checks and verify their qualifications and work experience, so you can focus on running your school. We also handle all administrative tasks like payroll, so you don’t have to add to your admin team’s workload.
Not all education recruitment agencies have the local knowledge that benefit schools. We have longstanding connections with schools and communities in Croydon and South London, which give us a deep understanding of our local area.
We know commute times and transport options, which means we can assign teachers who can get to your school easily and on time. Teachers and teaching assistants appreciate this local knowledge – including the best lunch spots and bus routes – so they can enjoy a better overall experience in working for your school.
A reputable education recruiter doesn’t just cover sick leave absences or short-term needs. They’re also serious about keeping the skills of their supply teachers relevant and up to date. At Future Education, we provide a range of resources to our teachers for their ongoing professional development. That means they’re current on the latest in best practices and are confident to meet new challenges.
