A-Z

We strongly recommend you purchase an A-Z for the area you wish to work in the UK. They will greatly assist you to get around, especially if you are planning to carry out day to day supply work.

Travel - By Bus/Train

Buying a weekly or monthly "travel card" for journeys taken in your most frequent zones will prove to be a cheaper option than paying single fares on your way to and from schools.

The UK also provides easy access to Europe and overseas visitors can take full advantage of the cheap, short distance flights to visit many European cities.

Mobile Telephones

You may purchase mobile phones on a 'buy and talk' basis. These have no contract or rental fees. You just purchase the telephone. They are available from any high street electrical shop or specialist phone store.
Medical

Once you have established yourself we advise you to register with a local doctor. Visiting a doctor is free, however, you will have to pay for any prescriptions which is currently £6.10.

Dentist / Doctor

We would also recommend you register with a local dentist and doctor. This service is free under the National Health Service. Private care is also readily available for dentists.
