International Teacher Recruitment

Bishop Challoner Teaching School Alliance (BCTSA) is a Regional Network for the Department of Education's International Teacher Recruitment (ITR) Programme, to recruit highly talented overseas teachers in Maths and Physics for schools in the West Midlands.

We are working with the Point to Point Education Recruitment Agency (appointed by the DfE) who are very experienced in recruiting overseas teachers to the UK. Click here for more information about Point to Point. The DfE will fully fund both the recruitment and acclimatisation services. The hiring school will have the final say on whether to recruit the candidate, pay the teacher's salary, and if applicable, pay for a Tier 2 Visa which is no more than £1,200. Not all recruited teachers will require a Tier 2 Visa. Click here for information about the different types of visa.

We are specifically recruiting for fully registered teachers in their home country from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and USA.
