Permanent Education Jobs & Career Support

Find long term opportunities that fit your goals

Whether you are looking for more stability, career progression or the right school community, TeacherActive can support you in finding permanent education roles that suit your experience, values and ambitions.

Many educators begin their journey through supply work before moving into permanent positions within settings where they already feel supported and valued. We work closely with schools, colleges, nurseries and SEND settings across England and Wales to help candidates transition confidently into long term opportunities.

Whether you are newly qualified, returning to education or ready for your next challenge, our consultants are here to support you every step of the way.

Temp to perm opportunities

A flexible route into long term work

Temp to perm opportunities allow you to experience a setting before making a long term commitment. This gives both you and the school the opportunity to ensure the role is the right fit.

Many schools choose to offer permanent positions to candidates who have already made a positive impact through temporary placements. This can help you build confidence, demonstrate your strengths and transition naturally into a permanent role.

Training and development

Through My-Progression, our free CPD platform, candidates can access ongoing professional development designed to support confidence, classroom practice and career progression. Topics include safeguarding, behaviour management, SEND and SEMH support, professional relationships, classroom practice, leadership development and working on supply.

We believe progression should be part of every stage of your education career, which is why we continue to provide practical training and development to help you grow.

Safeguarding and compliance

Safeguarding is central to everything we do. Before working in a setting, every candidate completes a thorough compliance process designed to protect children, young people and vulnerable individuals. This includes identity checks, right to work checks, Enhanced DBS checks, professional references, qualification verification and safeguarding screening.

Our dedicated compliance team will guide you through each stage, making sure you understand what is needed and helping you feel fully prepared before your first placement. We also provide clear guidance around safeguarding expectations, professional conduct and safer working practices, so you can step into every setting with confidence.

This process helps ensure you are ready to work safely, professionally and responsibly, while giving schools and education settings confidence in the people supporting their learners.
