Frequently asked questions

Is SchoolJobs.uk free for teachers?

Yes — completely free. Create an account, upload your CV, apply to any job and set alerts at no cost.

Can schools post jobs for free?

Yes. Posting your own vacancies is currently free for UK state-funded schools and academy trusts.

What types of school jobs can I find?

School roles from across the UK — primary and secondary teachers, early years, SEND & SENCOs, TAs, HLTAs, cover supervisors, headteachers, deputies, bursars and support staff.

How do I apply for a school job?

Click Apply on any vacancy. You can apply through SchoolJobs.uk with your saved CV and track the application in My Applications, and where we know the employer's own application page we link to that too. If the employer has not joined SchoolJobs.uk yet, we hold your application securely and notify them.

How do job alerts work?

Save any search and pick instant, daily or weekly. We'll email you the moment a matching school job goes live.

Can schools search for candidates?

Not yet. Candidate Search is not available to buy or use yet. Employers reach candidates by advertising a vacancy, and candidates apply to them. If candidate search does open, only education professionals who have explicitly chosen to be discoverable could ever appear, and each candidate would decide whether to share their contact details.

Is SchoolJobs.uk only for England?

No. We list school jobs across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, from local authorities and academy trusts.

Do schools pay to advertise on SchoolJobs.uk?

No. Posting a genuine vacancy is free for eligible direct education employers — state-funded schools, academy trusts, colleges and local authorities. One optional paid product is available today — a Featured Job promotion — and any paid placement is always labelled as sponsored. Recruitment agencies pay to advertise. Prices are on our pricing page.
