Launch of New National Teacher Vacancy Service to Help Reduce Recruitment Costs



The Government is to trial a new website in the Spring, which aims to help Head Teachers fight the high cost of hiring fees.

Accordingly, Paul Kett, the DfE’s director-general for education standards, announced last November that a prototype of the site was already prepared. The services will allow schools to advertise teacher vacancies for free.

Moreover, this initiative is eagerly awaited by members of leadership in education, who have for many years been struggling with the expense of using commercial recruitment agencies. Schools have been forced to pay fees of up to 20% of a new recruit’s salary, with some spending up to £100,000 a year in agency costs alone. A pilot scheme is due to be run in the Spring.
