Platform disrupting the UK supply teacher market

“I’ll tell you, there’s no bigger waste in our education system than this.”as stated by Angela Rayner, Shadow Secretary of State for Education, in September 2018, when referring to the use of supply teacher agencies.

Teacher Booker aims to completely change the current paradigm in school staffing, with a platform that makes the process of sourcing and managing high quality, vetted teachers and support staff far more efficient and transparent. Because most UK schools rely on traditional agencies, which can be highly expensive, Teacher Booker has the potential to save schools 90% on their spend.

Teacher Booker already has more than 5,000 teachers and over 100 schools signed up. It has also recently secured a contract with a major regional education services provider that will provide direct access to a large number of schools.

In addition to increasing cost pressures,UK regulation requires schools to conduct and maintain the background checks on approximately 1 million workers. Teacher Booker’s bespoke compliance management tool vastly improves on the manual paper and spreadsheet-based systems currently used and makes routine check-ups far simpler, ensures records can’t be doctored, and structures data so it can be analysed and extracted.

Teacher Booker is now raising up to £750,000 of EIS-eligible capital on the Growthdeck platform. The opportunity can be viewed at https://www.growthdeck.com/teacherbooker
