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.
