Placing Overseas Qualified Teachers in London Schools and Academies

Are you looking for teaching jobs, teaching assistant jobs, or other school support jobs in London and Surrey? We cover all of London and Surrey and the surrounding counties! Our team is deeply committed to improving education outcomes for all students in London and the surrounding areas.

Whether you are looking for permanent, supply, or fixed-contract positions, our dedicated London & Surrey team is here to help. We have roles in early childhood, primary and secondary schools, with teaching jobs and support staff jobs in state schools and independent schools. Our London team is based near Fenchurch Street Station in the heart of the City of London. From our offices, we are able to service the Greater London region, the largest concentration of schools and academies in the UK.

The Greater London region covers over 1800 square miles with some of the most diverse socioeconomic areas found anywhere in the UK. Our schools and academies range from inner city academies with their diverse local populations through to out-of-town single-intake schools in affluent areas.

Our London team consists of specialists in our main market sectors. We have a Primary School team and a Secondary School team covering permanent, long-term, short-term and supply placements. We run an extensive supply talent pool for the Greater London area with dedicated consultants for Inner and Outer London as well as the surrounding counties. The secondary team also focuses on candidate quality. With many larger clients requiring a high level of daily support we have grown a large talent pool which covers the main London zones as well as the surrounding counties. The London region is broken down into areas that are each serviced by a dedicated consultant to ensure continuity of service.
