Applications

How do I apply for a role?

Browse the job listings on this website and click "Apply" on any role that interests you. You will be asked to submit your CV and a short covering statement. One of our consultants will then be in touch within two working days.

What documents will I need to provide?

You will typically need to provide: a current CV covering the last 10 years; proof of identity (passport or birth certificate); proof of address (dated within the last 3 months); evidence of your qualifications (degree certificate, PGCE, QTS certificate); two professional references, one of which must be your most recent employer; and an enhanced DBS certificate (or we can arrange one through our service).

Do I need Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) to apply?

It depends on the role. Permanent teaching positions in state-maintained schools require QTS. However, many day-to-day supply roles and support staff positions do not. Check the individual job listing for the requirements, or contact us if you are unsure.
