Teacher Recruitment Initiatives in Croydon

In response to the challenges of appointing outstanding staff, Croydon Local Authority and the Croydon Headteachers’ Association (CHTA) have been working closely on teacher recruitment initiatives to raise Croydon’s profile as the destination of choice.

Croydon is one of London’s largest boroughs, with nearly 150 schools and colleges to serve the community.  The school population has been growing year on year and it follows that schools have been recruiting to jobs associated with this growth – from teachers and teaching assistants to caretakers and office staff.

In partnership with Croydon Headteachers’ Association, Croydon Local Authority has been working on a number of initiatives which will give potential applicants direct access to school jobs in the borough, all in one place and, showcasing the teaching opportunities there are in Croydon.

The Croydon Virtual Teacher Recruitment Fair

Could you be the teacher to make a difference to the young people of Croydon?

The Croydon Teacher Recruitment Fair (Further Info) is the event for past, current and new teachers to meet schools and explore teaching opportunities.

The next Croydon Teacher Recruitment Fair will be in June 2022, date to be advised.  At the Croydon Teacher Recruitment Fairs, representatives from Croydon schools and academies will be available to meet delegates and discuss prospective positions and career opportunities, not just within their organisations, but Croydon borough as a whole. Professional associations and union representatives will also be in attendance. Experts will be on hand to offer advice and tips on applying for your first teaching job, returning or re-training as a teacher and progressing existing teacher leadership careers.
The event has something for everyone interested in teaching – there are opportunities for new teachers, those already in the profession or thinking of returning to teaching and if you are interested in becoming a teacher. Combine this with the amazingly diverse nature of Croydon borough – an ideal place to enrich your teaching experience, it’s an event not to be missed.
