TEACHER Search is a cloud based system that simplifies the way schools manage their relief teachers, enabling schools to find the best available teacher for the job, saving time and money with no third-party agency fees.
Many schools are still spending time making dozens of phone calls to find relief teachers at the very last minute, only to be disappointed to find out those teachers are already booked.
This is time consuming and with technology where it is at today there is a simple solution that frees up time for schools to focus on what’s most important – teaching.
Teacher Search provides a login to one platform where schools can manage not only their permanent teaching staff, but also find the best relief teachers.
With the click of a button, schools can approve relief teachers to work at their school to ensure full control of the quality of teachers taking on relief jobs.
Permanent staff can also log their leave requests.
It is free for teachers across Australia to upload a profile and select preferred schools they want to work at or schools within a specific distance to their home.
Teacher Search’s point of difference is that schools will know when a teacher is unavailable, saving time in contacting that specific teacher.
The company will soon be launching a phone app, which will enable the system to become fully automated.
The current web application allows for schools to manage their current relief staff and also approve any new relief teachers that select the school as one of their ‘preferred schools’.
Schools can also search for specific skillsets to ensure they are shortlisting the best teacher for the job.
The web application is already simplifying the process with schools able to access all the relief teacher information they need all in the one place.
Once the app is launched, it will be the first notification a school might receive when a permanent teacher logs their absence and that a relief teaching will be working at the school.
The benefits for teachers include not having to answer dozens of phone calls and messages from schools, but rather a simple phone notification.
Teacher Search allows for better planning and management of relief and permanent staff.
Teacher Search is also offering schools a one term free trial for a limited time.
