A personal approach

At Step Teachers, we believe that the registration process is the vital first step in establishing and refining a personal working relationship with our teachers. All new recruits are met face-to-face either at our London office or with our dedicated roaming new applications consultant who travels the country to meet with you at a convenient time and place. We are a small, friendly team and you will be introduced to our office staff; there’s no chance you will get lost in the system or overlooked.

The registration process is about more than completing forms and checking qualifications, it is a time for you to meet your dedicated consultant and discuss with them your particular experience, expertise and job requirements. Once we have understood your employment needs our consultants can tailor their approach to finding you suitable work. We will even help you to write your CV and support you through the interview process if you are looking to secure a long-term position.
