Teach in London, a new online recruitment service for London schools, has attracted over 200,000 visits from teachers in the first month of the new school year.
The concept behind Teach in London is simple: a focussed website and recruitment service to connect schools across the capital with teachers who want to work there. Schools which become members can advertise unlimited vacancies for as long as they want, when they want, and reach over 600,000 candidates.
Paul Howells from Teach in London said: “This exciting initiative offers London’s schools the most cost-effective way to find teachers. It gives schools total control over recruitment, delivering a unique service that provides real results. By joining London’s first online school recruitment community, its members - local authorities, schools and teachers - benefit from working together to ensure pupils across the capital get great teachers.”
Schools across London face a range of unique challenges and one of the most pressing is finding and retaining teachers. Teach in London, part of the Eteach Group, offers schools low-cost advertising and a range of cost-effective and flexible options designed to attract the best possible candidates in an increasingly competitive education environment.
For teachers, Teach in London offers easy, free access to great jobs and with 200,000 visits to www.TeachinLondon.net in September alone, the service is already a hit with them. Joining its School and Regional Talent Pools makes finding teaching roles even easier, as they can now access schools all year round, regardless of whether they’re recruiting or not.

Notes to editors
Eteach UK offers a powerful and cost effective solution to the recruitment problems facing schools. It provides a unique integrated recruitment service, helping schools employ staff in the primary, secondary, special needs and independent sectors, as well as further education. Eteach is currently advertising approximately 2,000 jobs, a 10% increase on this time last year.
The UK’s leading education recruitment portal currently has over 600,000 teacher members, giving employers access to an unrivalled pool of talent nationally and internationally. The service is free to teachers, who simply enter their CV and then have access to a live database of vacancies.
Eteach offers schools a Recruitment Healthcheck and their own Career Site and School Profile, to help them leverage the power of the internet to recruit more effectively and cut costs. School, Group and Regional Talent Pools are an innovative concept which has been introduced by Eteach to simplify recruitment and further drive down costs for schools. Recruiters can set up a Talent Pool, a database of potential employees that attracts teachers who want to work in that region or school. When there’s a vacancy schools can access the list of candidates who have already expressed an interest in working in their area or directly for them. By utilising this management resource Eteach is confident schools will save money, time and jobs.
