Why SchoolJobs

The UK schools directory built for education jobs

SchoolJobs maintains a job-focused directory of UK schools, academies, sixth-form colleges and SEND providers, built from the official government registers for all four nations. Every profile is connected to the vacancies you can still apply for today.

Whether you are a newly qualified teacher searching for your first primary role, a head of department scanning secondary opportunities, or a teaching assistant looking for SEND provision near home, filter by phase and combine it with a nation, region, city or London borough — then open a school to see its address, register details and current vacancies side-by-side.

For schools and MATs, listing and posting vacancies is free today. Some school vacancies are advertised by a trust, local authority or recruitment agency; every listing states who is advertising it, so you always know who you are applying through.

Frequently asked questions

＋How many schools are listed on SchoolJobs?

We list around 30,000 open UK schools and colleges taken from the official government registers for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, alongside the multi-academy trusts (MATs) that run them. Establishments outside the UK schools system — British schools overseas, offshore schools and service children's education units — are deliberately excluded.

＋Can I see which schools are currently hiring?

Yes. Tick 'Currently hiring' in the directory filters to show only schools with at least one vacancy you can still apply for today, or sort by 'Most vacancies' to see the most active recruiters first.

＋How do I find schools near me?

Search by school name, or browse by nation, city or London borough using the location cards below. Each school profile shows its postcode so you can gauge commute distance.

＋Is this directory free for candidates?

Yes. Browsing every school profile, filter and vacancy on SchoolJobs is completely free for candidates — no sign-up required to view jobs.

＋How do I claim my school's profile?

Register a school account, search for your school and submit a verification request. Once approved you can post jobs for free, upload your logo and manage applicants from your dashboard.

＋How is verification granted?

We verify schools that either sign up with a matching school-domain email address, or provide DfE URN / Companies House details our admin team can cross-check.

＋What phases and school types are covered?

Nursery and early years, primary, middle, secondary, all-through, SEND / special schools, alternative provision and pupil referral units, sixth-form colleges and further education colleges, across maintained, academy, free-school and independent sectors. Where a register does not state a school's phase, we leave it unclaimed rather than guessing.
