How Do Teachers Register to Find Positions Through our Agency?

If you're a teacher seeking new opportunities, the registration process with our agency is straightforward and efficient. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

  1. Visit Our Website: Start by navigating to our official website where you’ll find all the necessary information about available positions. If there is nothing listed, we can still help. A lot of our roles do not make it onto the website due to the urgent nature of the role. If you are a teacher or teaching support staff, we can definitely help you.

  2. Complete the Online Application: Fill out our detailed online application form. This form will ask for your teaching credentials, work experience, and your preferred teaching areas or subjects. Make sure to upload any required documents, such as your teaching certification and a current CV.

  3. Profile Review: Once your application is submitted, our team will review your profile to match your expertise with potential job openings.

  4. Schedule an Interview: If your profile matches the requirements of available positions, you'll be contacted to arrange a face-to-face or virtual interview. This is an opportunity for us to understand your career goals and for you to ask any questions about the agency and job placements.

  5. Begin Job Matching: After a successful interview, our recruiters will start matching you with job opportunities that suit your skills and preferences. You’ll be notified of any positions that might be a good fit.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly join our network and access a variety of exciting teaching opportunities. The entire process is free, so you can focus on finding the perfect teaching role without any financial commitment.


How do we keep our teachers in Northamptonshire happy? 

When comparing agencies, there are several important factors to consider. It’s a misconception that pay is the only priority for teachers seeking teaching jobs in Northamptonshire. Often, when we reach out to teachers listed on job boards, we hear that many are contemplating leaving the profession altogether. Unfortunately, this is an all-too-common reality, though, for many teachers, these feelings are completely avoidable. Many of them started with a genuine passion for teaching, yet circumstances have eroded that enthusiasm. Sometimes, a lack of support from the school or difficulties in managing challenging classroom behaviour can leave even the most dedicated teachers questioning whether they want to continue teaching.

At Mana Education, we believe in turning this around. By taking the time to understand your needs and preferences, we work towards helping you build a fulfilling teaching career. While it may take some time to find the perfect fit, we’re dedicated to using this information to match you with a school that complements your teaching style and strengths. Be a Mana Teacher… a Happy Teacher!

Don't just take our word for it, see some of our testimonials that show just that.

Education Phases to Consider When Looking for Teaching Jobs in Northamptonshire

When exploring teaching opportunities in Northamptonshire, it's helpful to understand the various educational phases available, so you can focus on the roles that best match your skills and interests. Here’s an overview of the primary education stages to consider:

  • Nursery: Focused on early childhood education, nursery positions involve working with very young children and helping them develop foundational skills in a nurturing, playful environment.

  • Primary School: For those passionate about educating children aged 5-11, primary school roles involve teaching core subjects and fostering a supportive learning atmosphere.

  • Middle School: Often seen as a transitional stage, middle school typically serves children aged 11-14 and bridges the gap between primary and secondary education.

  • Secondary School: For teachers interested in working with students aged 11-16 or 18, secondary school involves preparing students for critical exams such as GCSEs and A-Levels, often specialising in specific subjects.

  • Sixth Form or College: This phase targets students aged 16-19 and focuses on advanced, pre-university studies, ideal for those interested in guiding students through A-Levels or equivalent qualifications.

  • All-Through School: These schools offer continuous education from early years through to secondary, allowing teachers to work within a cohesive educational journey that supports students from childhood through adolescence.

By narrowing your search according to these phases, you can better find teaching roles that align with your expertise and interests.


Benefits of having a Mana Education Recruitment Consultant by your side

When you register with Mana Education, you’ll be paired with a dedicated Recruitment Consultant who specialises in education recruitment, covering both teaching and support roles. Your consultant will take the time to get to know you—learning about your teaching background, your preferred environment, and the types of schools and students that align with your teaching style. This insight enables us to target the right opportunities that truly fit your needs.

Your Recruitment Consultant will actively communicate with schools on your behalf, advocating for roles that match your experience and career goals, whether you’re looking for a temporary position or a permanent teaching role. With your consultant’s guidance, you’ll be kept up to date with relevant opportunities that may not yet be advertised online, helping you stay a step ahead in the competitive job market.

At Mana Education, we’re committed to connecting you with a role that brings satisfaction and success.

Our approach is rooted in building strong relationships with both candidates and schools. We understand that the landscape of educational roles is vast, encompassing not only permanent teaching positions but also supply teaching and support roles. By taking the time to engage with schools, we learn exactly what they seek in a candidate, ensuring a harmonious fit.

  • Dedicated Team: Our team consists of specialists who are adept at identifying the unique needs of both primary and secondary education environments.

  • In-Depth Conversations: We believe in the power of personal interaction. By discussing your career journey, interests, and areas for growth, we can pinpoint opportunities that align with your professional goals.

  • Tailored Matching: With a deep understanding of your preferences and the specific requirements of schools, we ensure that when a suitable position arises, it's not just a job—it's the right job for you.

This meticulous process helps us foster successful placements, where both schools and teachers thrive, creating a fulfilling educational experience for everyone involved.

Typical information you can expect to find within a Teacher Job Vacancy advert

  • School Type and Age Range: Information about the school's structure, such as whether it's a free school or academy, and the ages of the students, helps candidates assess the suitability of the position for their experience.

  • Working Pattern: Whether the role is full-time or part-time is critical for applicants planning their schedules or balancing other commitments.

  • Application Deadline: The closing date and specific time for applications are crucial to ensure candidates submit their applications promptly.

  • Visa Eligibility: Listings may indicate whether visa sponsorship is available, helping international candidates gauge their eligibility for the role.

Why do a lot of schools and agencies not offer VISA Sponsorship?

  1. Cost and Complexity: Sponsoring a visa can be costly and involves complex legal processes. Some employers prefer to avoid these additional expenses and bureaucratic hurdles.

  2. Immediate Availability: Companies often need to fill positions promptly. Hiring candidates who already have work authorization ensures there are no delays in the onboarding process.

  3. Government Regulations: In some regions, policies favor employing local talent to boost the economy, limiting the necessity for visa sponsorship.

  4. Position Requirements: Some roles require specific credentials or certifications that are easier to verify locally.
