- Your Journey as a Candidate

  • Initial Contact & CV Submission: Teachers express interest via Irish universities, GAA networks, or referrals. We collect CVs, teaching subjects, availability, and relocation willingness to ensure a strong match for UK schools.
  • Vetting & Compliance Checks: All candidates undergo robust compliance checks, including Garda vetting (Ireland), professional references, and overseas police checks where required. This ensures readiness for placement and school safeguarding standards.
  • Placement in a UK School: Once vetted, we match candidates with suitable schools in London and across the UK, taking into account subject needs, start dates, and school culture to optimise long-term success.
  • Candidate Support & Integration: We assist teachers with practical relocation needs such as accommodation, local services, and mentoring. Teachers are supported in joining local communities, including GAA clubs, to help them settle confidently and thrive in their new environment.
