Maths and Science teachers are extremely scarce. Maths teachers especially, are becoming like gold dust! Teachers of subjects like Art, History, Business Studies and French are usually quite plentiful on the other hand. Many students who graduate with Science and Maths degrees seem to favour going down a route other than teaching, which is a shame as the knock on effect of this shortage will undoubtedly be a decrease in the standard of Maths and Science education in our schools. Uteach is always keen to recruit good, qualified teachers of all subjects but it’s fair to say most schools in England are crying out for Maths and Science. Is there an answer to the problem?

Uteach is just back from a trip to Canada. We attended a number of teacher recruitment fairs accross Ontario and Alberta and met some fantastic potential candidates for September 2008! Luckily the weather wasn’t too cold this time although we did have the woolies out!
Canada continues to be one of Uteach’s favourite countries to recruit teachers from. Canadian teachers have an excellent reputation in UK schools and we are looking forward to getting as many high quality teachers on board this year as possible.
We are back in Ontario and Alberta in March with Head Teachers from some of our partner schools who are very keen to meet and hire our Canadian applicants. This is a really great way for teachers to secure UK jobs as they will get to meet the Head Teachers face to face as opposed to just speaking on the phone. We look foward to our return to Canada (hopefully to warmer weather…)!

This year we are improving our services to our teachers by organising great socials events! We plan to hold a social a couple of times a term and all our teachers will be invited. Basically we will be organising a fab night out and everyone is welcome!
We reckon that our teachers would like to get to know one another and share their experiences of teaching in the UK. Settling into a new area can be a slow process and it always helps to have extra contacts and people to have a pint with! It will also be a good way for teachers to share ideas and resources.
To be invited to the socials you need only be teaching through Uteach Recruitment - we will do the rest!

This is the time of year for teachers to start worrying if they haven’t secured a teaching post for september. School starts back in just five weeks and many qualified Hdip/PGCE/PGDE graduates will be faced with “subbing” in Ireland next term. It’s a shame that so many high quality teachers are turned out in Ireland each year and the sorry truth of it is that there simply are not enough jobs for them. Teaching in the UK is a good solution for any teacher unable to find employment in Irish schools as there are still plently opportunities in teaching accross the water. Of course, if someone really doesn’t want to go abroad, there’s not much we can do to persuade them, but if someone has the slightest inclination to travel, I would really recommend trying out teaching in the UK. Uteach Recruitment helps with all aspects of relocation and job application and we also offer plently of advice on teaching over there - members of our team are teachers that have taught in England, so we know the ropes!

Uteach held two interview days recently in Ireland - 20st April in Dublin and the 21st April in Cork. They were a great success, with dozens of excellent candidates attending and being interviewed by head teachers from England. We brought the heads/deputy heads from six schools over to Ireland for the two days, each of whom had a number of positions available for september. They were delighted with the standard of the irish candidates, many of whom are still studying for their Hdip/PGDE/PGCE/BEd.
The interview days are a great way for teachers to “get their foot in the door”, as they get to meet the actual head teachers in Ireland, before heading abroad. After the interviews, Uteach gives the teachers the opportunity to go to visit and have a further interview with one or two schools. 90% of the teachers who attended the Cork or Dublin interviews were successful and over the next couple of weeks, will go to visit the schools.
Uteach are holding other interview days in Ireland this summer - get your CV in, to be considered for this great opportunity!

Uteach is now recruiting Swedish candidates. Due to their high standard of teacher training and excellent levels of English, Swedish teachers are in demand in UK schools. We are advertising throughout Sweden and placing teachers from April onwards. As Sweden is part of the EU, no work permit is required and the teacher’s qualifications are recognised by the Scottish and English teaching councils. Uteach will, as with Irish and Canadian candidates, help with all aspects of relocation, such as accommodation, travel and bank accounts and will continue to find perfect full time positions for all their teachers.
