All the things you'll need to do or know before getting your dream job..
Want to teach in the UK but still living in Australia or New Zealand?
Take the opportunity to get as many of the questions and paperwork out of the way so you are ready to go when you arrive.
Aussies - We have consultants based in Australia who can help you get things organised before you fly. We also have dedicated OZ consultants in our London office that can help you organise the teaching career that you want in the UK. Many of our consultants are teachers from overseas who have extensive work experience in London schools. Chances are they will have taught in the same schools that you will teach in. They are here to help you in the adjustment from teaching at home to teaching in London.
Kiwis - The NZ Education system bears striking similarities to that of the UK. Therefore Kiwi teachers are appreciated for their training and experience in addition to their ability to build good working relationships with their students and fellow teachers.
