Uteach is delighted to offer you an exciting and unique opportunity to attend interviews with a group of great schools in England; all of which are now seeking talented, dedicated and committed teachers to appoint to full-time positions for all subjects at Primary and Secondary level.

Uteach specialises in training and placing teachers from Canada and Ireland in full-time, one-year teaching positions in the UK. It is our aim that every Uteacher is successful in their position and as such, we provide free transitional training on the UK curriculum. This consists of fully-immersive, subject-specific courses designed and delivered by Uteach Academy experts in conjunction with our university and school training partners in England. Plus, Uteach’s training program is completely free to teachers!

Schools in the UK want skilled educators like you and Uteach is committed to delivering an outstanding service to both our teachers and schools. Our commitment does not end the day a teacher begins a post – our support continues both in person and online with our training, resources and personal support services, long after teachers have made the move to the UK. We also pay for your flight to the UK to help offset costs.

If you would like to take part in this unique and exceptional opportunity prior to commencing your teaching journey please confirm your interest by emailing caitlin@uteachrecruitment.com to schedule an appointment.
