Introduction

Step Teachers is a specialist education recruitment agency, providing teaching and support staff to client schools for long term, short term, day to day supply and permanent placements. The safety and welfare of children is central to what we do. We are committed to equal opportunities for all in our recruitment practices and oppose all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination, direct or indirect, irrespective of age, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, disability, gender, gender reassignment, marital and civil partnerships, responsibility for dependents, trade union membership, or any other circumstances not relevant to the performance of a position.

We are proud members of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and adhere to their ‘Code of Professional Practice’. We have held REC Audited Education Accreditation since 2012 which replaced the DfE Quality Mark which we held since 2005. We strictly adhere to rules and regulations and are always fully up to date within the education sector.


This handbook sets out clear guidelines to help you get the most out of working with us and our schools. It details what we expect from all our candidates when they are placed in a school by Step Teachers. When undertaking a role in a school, you are acting in a position of authority and have a duty of care towards the children and young people we work with. You are likely to be seen as a role model and are expected to act appropriately both inside and outside of your role.
