About us

Our innovative platform is designed to revolutionise the way schools and teachers find each other, providing a seamless experience that saves time, money, and effort. Created by teachers and parents to provide a fairer, hassle-free and transparent platform for recruiting highly skilled and experienced teachers on a supply basis. Our platform puts schools and teachers in control, linking highly qualified teachers directly with schools, with no supply agency fees, which is fairer for schools and teachers. All our teachers are registered and approved on our platform in line with DfE safer recruitment guidelines, providing confidence to schools that you can recruit teachers direct on a short term or long term supply basis with Teacher-Direct.

At Teacher Direct platform, we embrace a philosophy centered on empowering educators and schools alike. We recognize the invaluable contributions of teachers to the education system and understand the challenges both educators and educational institutions face in finding suitable matches for temporary positions. Our mission is to bridge this gap by facilitating a direct connection between teachers and schools, eliminating the need for intermediary agencies and the associated fees.
We believe in fostering a transparent and efficient ecosystem where educators can showcase their skills, experience, and availability directly to schools seeking temporary staff. By cutting out the middleman, we not only provide teachers with a platform to pursue diverse opportunities but also enable schools to discover the ideal candidates who align with their specific needs.
Our commitment to fair practices extends beyond the elimination of agency fees. We strive to create a supportive community that values collaboration, communication, and mutual respect. Through our platform, we aim to cultivate a space where educators and schools can establish direct relationships, fostering a sense of trust and understanding.
In essence, our philosophy revolves around empowering the education community, promoting direct connections, and ultimately enhancing the overall experience for both teachers and schools in the dynamic landscape of temporary staffing.
