Working with an Agency allows you to be paid as a qualified teacher. If you sign a contract without obtaining Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) you are paid on the lower unqualified pay scale. Most schools will help you gain your QTS if you sign on for an extended term. It is worth the effort. Most people choose to work with an agency in the long-term so that they don’t have to worry about QTS and because working with an agency allows you the flexibility to work at times convenient to you. A weekly pay cheque from the agency is also an added bonus. Contract employment will mean you are given a monthly salary.
