Over the past three years, teaching vacancies have more than doubled, up from 1,100 in November 2020. Temporary positions have also grown by a whopping 76% over the same period.
With your pick of teaching jobs to choose from, the question we hear regularly is how to find roles that are genuinely compatible with your pay expectations, work-life balance needs and career goals. That’s easier said than done! If you have spent any time on job websites searching for teaching roles, you have probably spent lots of time trying to find a job that ticks all the boxes.
However, there is a more effective way to land your next primary, secondary or SEN teaching job – by partnering with an education recruitment agency. We’ll explain why teaching professionals benefit from connecting with education recruiters who know their stuff – and why you can too!
Save Time Searching for Your Next Teaching Role
Job hunting can be a lonely process that often feels like a slog. Regardless of how many job opportunities are available in teaching, it can take months to secure a position that meets your criteria.
With an education recruitment agency, you can drastically reduce the time you spend applying for roles whilst also getting updates on your job applications. We won’t waste your time with vacancies that aren’t genuine or don’t meet your pay expectations. And, if you are in the Croydon area and searching for a position that is truly local, we have the resources to connect you with Croydon teaching jobs faster than you can say Bob’s your uncle!
As education recruiters, we work hard to build lasting relationships with a broad network of education leaders and hiring managers, taking time to understand what they’re looking for in their teachers, the pay on offer and key job requirements, so nothing about the position will be a mystery to you.
That’s how we can give you access to vacancies that haven’t been advertised publicly and pitch you to schools that aren’t officially hiring yet. With an agency, you can get your foot in the door early before vacancies are advertised – saving you hours in sending out your CV and hoping for the best!
Find The Flexible Teaching Jobs You Want
With years of hands-on teaching experience and a genuine passion for education, we understand the daily realities of the classroom. We get what makes teachers and schools tick and how important it is to work for an organisation where you can shine.
Whether you’re searching for a temporary role in a primary school, a flexible secondary teacher job or a SEN position, we’re here to match you with the right environment, ensuring that you’ll love your working days whilst having plenty of flexibility throughout the week. Whether you’re looking for a daily relief role, a longer assignment or want to explore your options with a temp to perm role, we can help!
Compliance Paperwork? Already Sorted.
Let’s face it, nobody likes filling out forms multiple times for the same purpose. If you are job searching solo, you will likely have to submit your DBS, prohibited teacher check and references over and over again. Why not skip the rigmarole by signing up with an education recruitment agency? With us, you only need to do this once!
When you register with us, you provide this information up front, so we can submit it to employers on your behalf. We can notify you as soon as anything is out of date, helping you stay on top of paperwork without slowing down your job search.
Get Actionable Advice
An education recruitment consultant can offer what many employers can’t easily do on their own: give you helpful advice on what to expect for a job interview and post-interview feedback.
Organisations that recruit teachers often struggle to find time to give feedback to every single candidate after interviews. With an education recruitment agency, you’ll get fast feedback on each interview, with insights that can help you change your approach for the next interview.
Another benefit of working with an education recruiter is that we can give you insider knowledge on how to prepare for an interview, including the types of questions you could expect and how your role contributes to the team. It’s a level of intel that can help you make the right decisions as a job seeker and make a dazzling impression in interviews!
We’ve Got Your Back
Our education recruitment consultants can also guide you through the negotiation process that follows a job offer. When you’re offered a role, you will appreciate having a professional give you pointers on how to negotiate your way through the process.
A recruitment partner is your ultimate ally when it comes to negotiating your rate or salary and benefits package. We’re across current trends and benchmarks for teacher pay, by experience level, location, specialisation and other key factors. This gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what you can realistically expect.
We’re not just about numbers, though! We take the time to understand your personal priorities, so we can negotiate perks that matter to you, like flexible hours, extra paid holidays or career development resources.
Tap into Local Knowledge
At Future Education, you won’t find the impersonal communication you get from corporate recruitment agencies. We’re a family-run business deeply rooted in the Croydon community. Because our consultants live locally, we can provide you with useful information including commuting times, the unique characteristics of the schools in the area and where to get a lovely lunch or coffee.
Since we’re teachers ourselves, we understand the challenges and rewards of working in education. Whether you’re looking for primary, secondary, or SEN positions, we’re here to help you find the perfect fit, whether it’s for a permanent role or a temporary assignment.
