Glow like to do education recruitment a little bit differently.

We collaborate with schools across Brighton & Hove and Sussex to place qualified teachers, TAs, and support staff in long-term positions that match up with their values and goals. Our approach is straightforward: no pressure and no hard-sell. Just transparent conversations, competitive pay, and comprehensive support throughout the entire process. When you join us, you’re not just filling a role, you’re becoming part of a community where our main aim is to help educators succeed.

Important Info: To apply, you must be eligible to work in the UK or hold a relevant work visa. We conduct safeguarding checks, including an Enhanced DBS check (which we can help you obtain). All our candidates receive free safeguarding training. Pay rates include 12.07% statutory holiday pay.

We aim to respond to all applications within three working days. If you don’t hear from us, we encourage you to give us a call. Sometimes we see high volumes of applications and in these peak times our response to applicants can be delayed. At Glow Educate, we’re all about building lasting, supportive relationships, and we can’t wait to help you find your next role!
