With the number of teaching graduates dropping, it is unsurprising that academies and schools are turning to education supply teaching agencies to help fill the gap. With over 500 teaching agencies across the UK, how can you ensure you choose the best agency for you?

Here are four questions we think you should ask a teaching agency before making the decision:

Does the teaching agency pay you fairly and on time?

Many teachers are now turning to a teaching agency because of a lifestyle choice but you still want your past experience to be acknowledged. However, pay rates can vary greatly between education agencies. Agencies that want to attract outstanding teachers to supply to their schools will pay you in line with your experience because they want you to deliver outstanding lessons and, in turn, be requested back by the school. Be aware of agencies that just want to fill positions with paying little attention to your specified subject or age range experiences. It makes little sense to register with a teaching agency where you are not paid fairly and not paid on time.

Does the teaching agency comply with the Agency Workers Regulations?

When choosing a teaching agency, make sure you pick one that is Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) compliant; this ensures that if you are in a teaching position for twelve weeks or more you are entitled to be paid as if you were employed directly by the school, often referred to as “paid to scale”. The Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) was introduced in 2011, with its main aim to introduce equal treatment for agency workers. Although all teaching agencies should adhere to the legislation, not all do, and if you are placed in a long term supply position you could be losing out on a lot of money.

Does the agency charge restrictive temp to perm fees?

Supply teaching is a great opportunity to work in a number of different schools or academies and to get a number of different teaching opportunities, experience and skills, which pupils will benefit from. Often if you are successful in a supply position the Head or Principle will offer you a permanent place at their school or academy. Some teaching agencies may try to hinder the recruitment cycle by seeking to charge an extortionate temp to perm fee. A good teaching agency has both the interests of you and the schools at heart. Some solutions include a transitional period once the school has stated they would like to offer you a permanent role after the initial supply job. An added benefit to this solution is that it gives you the time to see if the job role and the school or academy is right for you, and after an agreed time you can simply transfer to the school on a permanent basis.

Does the teaching agency supply teachers to schools or academies where you want to teach?

Sounds obvious, but with a lack of available teachers, supply agencies are ramping up their marketing budgets to attract teachers to register. The most common and effective candidate attraction tool aside from an agencies website is to use Google Adwords and in turn creating “pay per click” adverts that are generated from the words you enter in to your Google search, resulting those agencies appear further up the page. However, not all the teaching agencies that been listed are relevant to you, for example if you searched say “teaching agencies in Lincoln” that doesn’t mean that all the agencies listed will have schools or academies that supply to Lincoln. Depending on the age range that you teach, you should ask which Primary, Secondary or SEN schools the teaching agency work with that are close to you, as often teaching supply positions are last minute and to ensure regular teaching work it is essential to have a good number of schools near you.

This registration gives us the opportunity to get to know you, your career history, qualifications and experiences.

Once this is complete, we will begin the process of finding opportunities for you with our schools throughout the UK. This can result in telephone/skype interviews almost immediately or the prospect of arranging an interview for you to visit a school face-to-face.

Headline – supplying staff for education

Headline - supplying staff for education

For over 20 years, Headline has been successfully providing skilled and trained staff to various types of education settings. We work on temporary, long term and permanent placements. Headline runs its own PAYE for temporary staff, we do not currently work with umbrella companies.

Based in Cambridge, Chelmsford, St Albans and Woking we cover a wide geographic area, across London and the South East / East Anglia. We have supply teaching, teaching assistant and nursery work in all of these areas and many of the surrounding villages and towns.

Our aim is to provide a first ‘class’ (see what we did there ;-)) service to both candidates and clients… Made possible by our own personal backgrounds in Education. We understand first hand both the demands of working in education and also the stress involved with being understaffed within a setting. Combining our knowledge with a genuine desire to look after the people we work with, we take pride in being able to say that we are fast becoming the agency of choice for both settings and personnel. With our backgrounds in Education, we are well placed to help NQTs and overseas trained Teachers to start out on their teaching journey in the UK.

However at Headline, we don’t just offer ‘work placements’ for Supply Teachers, nursery and support staff. We have a sister company Red Apple Training offering CPD and accredited courses such as First Aid and Safeguarding, to our candidates. We also provide our team (you belong to our team as we understand that supply teaching can be a lonely profession) with social meet ups. So that you can come along and meet other people working in the education field, swap stories, hints and tips. In the near past these have been in the form of anything from a summer BBQ fun evening for our staff and their families and Easter themed afternoon tea, to home-baked goodies to show our appreciation.

On our website we have the basics – simple information on how we can help you to find temporary work or a new permanent position. But please don’t take our word for it that we can do this! Take a look at what our schools, nurseries and supply staff say about us on our testimonials web-page also.

For example, Jill Wright, Supply Teacher KS1 and 2 has this to say –

“The team at Headline welcomed me with coffee, listened to my reasons for starting to do supply work, then suggested I began slowly with an afternoon to get the feel of things. They provided me with a help sheet of ideas to try, ways to behave in a new school and essentials to have in my bag for a supply day. Everything from stationery to quizzes and just in case activities. They sympathised when I was ill and sent home from school, although it created extra work for them. More importantly each email is cheerful and personal, you are more than a number.  A very pleasant team of professionals at Headline. “

What we would like most though, is for you to give us a good old-fashioned call! You can discuss anything, with no obligation…..we will be honest with how we can help! The team at your local branch would love to hear from you.
