Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Above all, we are looking for someone who enjoys teaching English, believes in the potential of every student, and wants to be part of a positive and ambitious school community. While the post is initially advertised as a maternity cover due to other expected staffing movements, a permanent position may be available in the future.
