We've improved our Recommend a Friend scheme, making it faster and easier than ever.
Step Teachers was co-founded by two former teachers, Marios Georgiou a History teacher and James Newman and ICT & French teacher. They understood that good teachers know good teachers. Since 2000, the best way we’ve been recruiting teachers—and let’s not forget our much-loved school support staff—is through recommendations. That’s people like you, telling us about your friends, family, or simply other supply staff you meet in schools.
We’ve always been driven—not by a desire to be the biggest or the best—but to be the nicest and friendliest agency out there. Our core values are honesty, hard work, and professionalism. No wonder recommendations are our bread and butter. It’s better than Google, better than Indeed or Monster. The best “job board” we use is you telling us about the people you know because you trust us to support them!
If you’ve never recommended anyone to Step Teachers before, now’s the time to get involved. It’s very simple. You can complete the online form below or just give your local branch a call. You can also reach us for free on 0800 026 3334
Want to know how the scheme works? Keep reading! But here’s the highlight: our way of saying thank you is to give you £100 in Amazon vouchers once the person you’ve introduced has worked 15 days. But that’s not all—after they’ve worked 15 days, you’ll both be entered into a prize draw to win a holiday worth £1,000!
Just think where that could take you – and if you need inspiration, we’ve got a few ideas below:
Have you ever wanted to explore the Far East and meditate with Buddhist monks?
Rekindle the magic with a romantic getaway to Venice?
Or simply soak up the sun on a stunning Greek island beach with a good book while the kids play in the sand? Where you go is entirely up to you.
To receive £100 in Amazon vouchers and a chance to win a Holiday worth £1,000 - simply recommend a friend by completing the form below:
Here’s a quick re-cap on how it works now:
Recommend a Teacher or Support Staff – Once they complete 15 days of work, the recommender will receive a £100 Amazon voucher!
