What advantages come with working through a teaching agency?

If you're searching for your next role in education, using a teaching agency could be an innovative approach to take. With extensive network of contacts, typically filled with exciting job opportunities, you can have the chance to access a broader range of positions.

In this blog, we explore the benefits of working via a teaching agency and the array of perks it can provide.

1: Finding the ideal position for you.

Agencies have an extensive understanding of the schools where you may be placed and the variety of roles they have available, ensuring the most suitable positions are highlighted to you. Agencies will consider your skills, qualifications and availability, then match you with openings that align with your CV and experience. This approach minimises the need for numerous applications, allowing you to focus your efforts on the opportunities that truly fit your preferences.

2: A reliable source of support.

When you work through a teaching agency, you're never on your own. Here at Archer Education, we are always available as a consistent source of support, offering a safety net of guidance and advice for any work-related questions or issues that may arise. Whether you're seeking clarification on contract terms, or looking for career development tips, you can count on our team to provide helpful insights. This ongoing support is invaluable, especially in the fast-paced and sometimes unpredictable field of education, ensuring you have a trusted partner to guide you through every step of your teaching journey.

3: Increased exposure to jobs

Occasionally, some schools may exclusively list their job openings through an agency, so you might miss out on opportunities just because you don't know they exist. Keep in mind that many teaching recruitment agencies have well-established partnerships with schools and connections that would otherwise be out of your reach during your job search.

4: Gain constructive feedback

Looking for a new position in the education sector can be daunting, especially when you're navigating the process solo. It's easy to feel overwhelmed when you're uncertain about how well you performed in an interview or whether your CV is hitting the mark.

We offer expert guidance on crafting a compelling CV that stands out, as well as providing valuable interview tips to boost your confidence.

If you're seeking a new teaching position and want to start earning as quickly as possible, working with an agency can speed up the recruitment process. By tapping into an agency's extensive network, you can access a variety of job openings without the typical delays of traditional job searches. Agencies often have immediate vacancies and can fast-track your placement by matching you with roles that fit your skills and experience.
