Luke has 7 years of experience working in recruitment, working his way to become a Senior Branch Manager for a large education recruitment company. Before this, he worked in various customer-facing managerial positions.
In 2021 Luke joined James Ray Recruitment as their Sales Director, and together with Rachel, they aim to become the region’s leading education recruitment specialists.
Rachel has worked with Hull and East Riding schools for over 15 years, through various roles in recruitment agencies. Having quickly progressed from a trainee to a senior business management role, she has seen all levels of the recruitment process in education.
Rachel left her role to found James Ray Recruitment in 2021, aimed at providing a better experience for both candidates and schools who are recruiting locally.
Teachers are paid according to a national pay scale, which has 5 bands. The lowest band, M1, where a newly qualified teacher starts is set to be £30,000 for the 2023-24 academic year. The scale rises to M6, which teachers progress through under the terms of their employing schools’ performance management procedure. M6 pay is set to be £41,333 for the 2023-24 academic year.
This is significantly higher than Hull’s average salary of £23,350.
There are various routes into becoming a qualified teacher, as well as options to work as an unqualified teacher or “an instructor.”
We published this resource to help understand the requirements for becoming a teacher which goes into more details about the routes into teaching.
The demand for qualified teaching staff is increasing year on year. Simply put, as the population increases and experienced staff leave or retire, the number of vacancies increases. We have a significant number of jobs advertised in the Hull and East Riding which you can view below.
You may have seen reports in the media regarding teacher workload, and yes, teachers do put in a lot of time planning, delivering and assessing their lessons. The DFE has launched a plan for tackling teacher workload, and teaching unions are actively supporting their members to keep workloads manageable.
All school staff are required to undergo a check with the Disclosure and Barring Service. A criminal conviction will not automatically disqualify you from getting a teaching job, and each case will be assessed individually. However, serious crimes involving violence, sexual assault or offences against children are likely to result in a candidate being deemed as unsuitable to teach.
If you are concerned, it may be worth contacting a teaching union to seek their advice.
