Why concentrate on long term teaching?

It means that we can devote all of our time and resources to matching teachers to long term vacancies in schools.

Teachers, how does this benefit you?

We will begin working for you immediately after registration. We will not take up your valuable time contacting you with unsuitable positions but will focus our full attention on searching for the right long term position for you.

Schools, how does this benefit you?

As all of our teachers are only looking for long term placements, our priority is to put them in touch with you as soon as you have a vacancy. We can provide you with detailed profiles of our available teachers at any time, enabling you to plan your staffing needs in advance. When you need long term cover we will immediately begin looking for the right teacher for your school.

Long Term Teachers Ltd and Equal Opportunities

Long term Teachers Ltd is an Equal Opportunities employer, and provider of recruitment services, and we have a positive approach to our policy of equal opportunity. In addition to our obligations under the law, we are opposed to any form of discrimination and will take an active stance against it.

As employers we value diversity. We will not discriminate on the basis of ethnic origin or race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, social class, age, marital status, disability or religion. Furthermore, we expect those who work with us to exhibit the same attitude in their dealings with others.

We realise that the individual schools in which we place teachers may have differing published equal opportunity policies, but believe that all will uphold the basic right to be treated without prejudice, and as such we support these policies.

We expect teachers placed by Long term Teachers Ltd to promote the value of diversity in the community through their teaching and attitudes whilst in school. In the classroom they should enable equal access to learning without barriers of social class, religion, ethnic group, gender, sexual orientation, disability or special educational need.

We would also like to remind you of Section 548 of the Education Act 1996 which prohibits any form of physical contact with a child in the form of corporal punishment. To use any form of physical punishment could mean prosecution, referral to the DfES section for Teacher Misconduct and removal from our register.  We recommend that you avoid physical contact of any kind with pupils.
