The Department for Education (DfE) has launched a free service to advertise teaching vacancies and is encouraging schools to sign up. The website will advertise full, part-time and job-share roles and Education Secretary Damian Hinds is calling on schools to sign up to the service to cut down on the £75 million spent by schools to advertise jobs.
More than 8,000 schools (38%) nationwide have already signed up, hoping to avoid the expensive charges in advertising jobs (said to cost, on average, more than £1,000 per advert with some agencies).
While the responsibility for appointing staff rests with the headteacher, this will be a useful resource for your organisation when hiring staff.
