Free Registration
It is illegal for any UK based recruitment agency to charge an individual
to register. This is a free service.
Agencies make their money by finding teachers/support personnel
work and charging the client, in this case, schools.
The charges can either be a
daily rate which means the agency are then responsible for paying
you an agreed rate and deducting tax and National Insurance contributions
from your salary or where you are employed by the school and an
introduction fee is charged.
Type of work
Day to day/short-term work
This offers its freedom to work when and where
you wish. It can range from day to day supply at different schools
every day to one or two weeks work in one school covering usually
sickness or course cover. Day to day supply is an excellent way
to work in a variety of schools and can give you a good insight
into how UK schools are run.
This type of work can also be very last minute i.e.
on the day required or it may be pre-booked through in-service training
days, planned leave and SATs cover.
It would suit an individual who wishes to have flexibility,
variety in their working experience.
