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. 1. Post a shift

    Add the role, date, times, location and any details a suitable teacher or TA needs before accepting.

  2. 2. We broadcast it

    The platform sends the shift to vetted staff whose role, location and stated availability fit your request.

  3. 3. Staff respond

    Available people receive a notification. The first suitable acceptance confirms the booking.

  4. 4. Review the booking

    Your school sees who accepted and can review the information RecruitCrew holds before the shift.

  5. 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. 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. 2. Set when you are available

    Choose your usual working days and add date-by-date changes whenever your plans change.

  3. 3. Receive suitable local shifts

    RecruitCrew sends you shifts that match your role, area, availability and completed checks.

  4. 4. Accept only the shifts you want

    Review the school, date, times, role and rate before accepting. You decide which opportunities suit you.

  5. 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.
