Amidst ongoing workforce shortages in the education sector, many organisations are recruiting workers from outside the UK to fill roles.

Julie Moktadir, Head of Immigration at Stone King, and Matt Brown, from specialist recruitment agency iCan Teach, have produced a three-part video series explaining what schools need to know.

‘Teacher recruitment from overseas’ is the first video in the series and gives a broad overview of the main considerations facing organisations recruiting workers from outside the UK, watch here.

This is followed by ‘What are the practicalities of recruiting teachers from overseas?’ which covers a number of topics including:

  • Recent immigration law reforms
  • Understanding the allocation
  • Available immigration routes

It can be watched here.

The final session in the series is ‘How to support and remain compliant – from a safeguarding and sponsorship perspective’ and looks at how organisations can remain compliant with UK immigration law and support overseas national workers within their education setting.

It provides a comprehensive overview of key factors educational organisations should consider from the point overseas workers enter the UK to begin teaching.
