Location: London (Oval), United Kingdom

About us:
Our mission is to change the world of education recruitment. Schools spend over £2bn a year on agency staff, with over £600m per year of that spent on fees that go straight to the recruitment agencies. So far, we’ve saved UK schools over £2m in supply teaching recruitment costs, and that number grows every day, meaning the funding can be put back into education within the schools.
Using our online platform, schools have access to hundreds of profiles of fully vetted teachers and support staff, who they can book at a click of a button. Think Uber for teachers.
This year, we are excited to launch our brand new graduate program where you will rotate across several core functions of the business, spending 6-9 months in each department:
This will give you unique exposure to how a business comes together, and you will learn a multitude of skills from both the variety of tasks you will work on and the experience of the different teams you will be part of.
Your chance to make a difference:
This is your chance to join a high growth tech startup on the ground floor as a graduate. We are passionate about learning and development, and aim to maximise both your personal and career growth.
