How it works
One direct route between schools and supply staff
Schools post work and pay a flat monthly RecruitCrew fee. Self-employed teachers and TAs choose suitable shifts and are paid directly by the school.
For schools
Fill a shift without an agency day-rate markup
Post the details once. RecruitCrew sends them to vetted people who match the role, location and date.
1. Post a shift
Add the role, date, times, location and any details a suitable teacher or TA needs before accepting.
2. We broadcast it
The platform sends the shift to vetted staff whose role, location and stated availability fit your request.
3. Staff respond
Available people receive a notification. The first suitable acceptance confirms the booking.
4. Review the booking
Your school sees who accepted and can review the information RecruitCrew holds before the shift.
5. Pay directly
The school and staff member agree pay directly. RecruitCrew does not hold, transfer or deduct from staff pay.
For teachers and TAs
Choose your shifts and keep what you earn
Tell RecruitCrew when you are available. You decide which matching shifts to accept and deal directly with the school.
1. Register and get vetted
Add your teaching profile and complete the identity, Enhanced DBS, Children’s Barred List and right-to-work checks.
2. Set when you are available
Choose your usual working days and add date-by-date changes whenever your plans change.
3. Receive suitable local shifts
RecruitCrew sends you shifts that match your role, area, availability and completed checks.
4. Accept only the shifts you want
Review the school, date, times, role and rate before accepting. You decide which opportunities suit you.
5. Get paid by the school
You work as self-employed supply staff. You agree the rate with the school, which pays you directly. RecruitCrew takes no cut.
Who pays whom
Schools pay RecruitCrew
The monthly subscription covers posting, matching, booking records and access to vetting confirmations. Fair-use overages apply beyond the plan limit.
Schools pay staff directly
RecruitCrew does not employ supply staff, run their payroll, move their pay or deduct a fee from it.
