As an employer, you’ll be aware of the significant time and money spent on advertising and recruiting the right staff.

It’s estimated that schools in England spent in the region of £76m every year advertising their teaching vacancies; money that could be better spent on teaching salaries, supplies and estates.

Securing the right candidate for the job is all-important and it’s crucial that you reach the widest possible audience to view your vacancies.

The new Teaching Vacancies Service has been developed to assist with the recruitment process. It offers an easy-to-use vacancy listings service, free of charge, as well as providing national coverage for all teaching vacancies in primary and secondary publicly funded schools in England.

The Teaching Vacancies Service:

• Reduces the time and money spent by schools on listing and advertising teaching roles
• Allows schools to publish and amend job listings themselves
• Makes it easier for aspiring and current teachers to find new posts locally and nationally
• Uses open data to list roles meaning that job listings are displayed by other search engine providers.

The Teaching Vacancies Service benefits from exposure through centrally funded Government recruitment campaigns, timed around peak teacher recruitment periods. This will give you confidence that any teaching vacancies you have will be seen by as many candidates as possible.

It’s easy to register to get an invitation to sign-up to the Teaching Vacancies Service by visiting Find a job in teaching - GOV.UK (This link opens in a new window).
