Schools

South East Teachers, part of Sussex Teachers Ltd, was founded in 2007 in reaction to the service being offered from large private equity backed Teacher Supply Agencies. We felt that offering a more personal long-term approach, rather than one bound to maximum profit for investors, would result in a reliable and cost-effective teaching agency service for local schools and teachers.

• Long-term staff absence
• Maternity leave cover
• Permanent vacancies
• Additional specialist for SEN and classroom support
• Sabbaticals, job share and flexible work requests
• Flexible or floating cover

We deliver savings, efficiencies and quality through:

• Free vacancy advertising
• Service review reports
• Discounted learning materials
• Online supply management
• Flexible payment options
• Preferred supplier arrangements
• Long-term staff absences
• Unfilled vacancies
• Specialist SEN support
• Fixed-term contracts
• Permanent contracts
• Temp-to-perm options
• Part-time contracts

The many schools who currently use our service have seen these benefits and the savings to their budgets it can bring. Every school is assigned one point of contact at South East Teachers and our experienced consultants have a proven track record in teacher recruitment. They will work to understand and assess the needs of your school, pupils, senior leadership team and Headteacher to find the right teacher for your School.

Our teachers are vetted in accordance with DfE and REC guidelines. We, therefore, interview everyone and verify the following documents:

Enhanced DBS disclosure

• Prohibition from teaching list
• Identification
• Professional references
• Career history
• Medical declaration
• Qualifications
• 3-month gap in teaching

And if required:

• Overseas police clearance
• Overseas teaching qualifications
• Visa/Work permit
