Our overseas teachers are incredibly important, bringing new approaches, excitement and adventure to our children and young people. By becoming a teacher in the UK, you can make a real and lasting difference to these brilliant young people.
There are fantastic opportunities for newly qualified teachers, as well as experienced practitioners in secondary education – in the UK this is across the age ranges of 11-18. There is a particular shortage of staff in the following subjects: STEM (Science, Technology, Economics and Maths), Design & Technology (specifically Resistant Materials/Woodwork), Business Studies, Music Studies, MFL (French/Spanish), and Computing/Computer Science. We are also keen to hear from those who work in support roles as well as educators with SEN qualifications and experience.
Alongside plentiful opportunities for overseas teachers in globally renowned education systems due to UK teacher shortages, there are many fantastic benefits that teaching in our country can provide candidates. Competitive salaries, a lower cost of living and generous pension scheme provides financial security whether you’re saving for travels, or looking for a secure retirement. Boasting up to 13 weeks of holiday, teachers in the UK can enjoy key holidays off, offering an attractive work-life balance. Finally, the multicultural UK education system provides brilliant professional development opportunities for its educators, often funded by schools or local authorities, allowing teachers to continuously improve their skills and advance their careers.
