How JobsinED is Closing the Education Recruitment Gap in London
The UK is facing a well-documented teacher shortage crisis, with schools across the country struggling to recruit and retain high-quality staff. Nowhere is this more evident than in London, where the demand for educators continues to outpace supply. At JobsinED, we are taking meaningful steps to address this gap, providing tailored solutions that connect schools with both graduate talent and experienced teachers. Here’s how we’re making an impact.
The Teacher Shortage Crisis in Numbers
The challenges facing schools are clear:
- Teacher vacancies have more than doubled in the past three years, reaching their highest levels since 2010.
- 2,800 teacher vacancies were recorded in November 2023, according to recent data.
- Temporary classroom posts have nearly doubled, highlighting the increasing reliance on short-term solutions.
- One in three teachers leaves the profession within five years of qualifying.
- London schools face unique pressures due to higher costs of living and increased competition for skilled educators.
- These statistics underscore the urgent need for effective recruitment solutions. That’s where JobsinED steps in.
