Pros

I joined TeacherActive over three years ago as a trainee consultant and can genuinely say I love my job and the company itself. Training and development of the staff at every level is excellent. Fantastic, fair commission structure that rewards very well for the hard work put in. Each office is a fun, supportive environment with a real sense of belonging. There is a genuine emphasis business wide on always doing the best possible job for both schools and candidates.

Outstanding support from day 1. Regular career development reviews and performance coaching. Great commission scheme and regular incentives/ rewards for achieving milestones. Friendly and supportive culture- great office environment.

To be successful in any role in recruitment, you need to be willing to put the time in and work hard- TeacherActive is no different. The days are long and busy but they do go very very quickly.

Pros

Consultants call you to ask feedback on the school you are placed at Provided at least three long-term placements The branch/ consultants value you as a person when school's provide positive feedback on your performance and capabilities and want you to come back again or stay long term.

Cons

When I was on daily supply, I occasionally worked for 1-2 hours a day, which was not the greatest financially.
