We are Nottingham’s first not for profit supply agency. We believe the education budget should be spent on the hard-working teachers in the classroom and not go to private profit-making agencies and their shareholders.
We are a unique agency run by working supply teachers.
We can meet all your school’s supply needs just like any other agency. We, the teachers collectively manage the calls, emails and admin of the agency. As we are non-profit making, we pay our teachers more than any other agency.
If the teacher we send you is involved in the running of Working Teachers, the price you pay goes straight to the teacher minus any statutory deductions and a small charge for our payroll company. If the teacher is not involved in running WT there may be a discretionary small amount set aside to contribute to the running of our agency.
Compliance
We ensure that all background, vetting, right-to-work documents and DBS checks are completed for every candidate that works with us.
We’re teachers and it’s in our nature to be methodical and thorough in our work. To complete all our tasks to a high standard and then check them and check them again! And that same work ethic very much runs true for our compliance checks. We’re fully compliant with Keeping Children Safe in Education which includes and extends to:
~ identity checks
~ right-to-work document checks
