So far, we’ve saved UK schools over 10m 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. We are well-funded by high-profile investors and are led by start-up veterans behind two of London’s most prominent tech companies. Looking to make a difference?
