Significant Issues

I registered with Step Teachers to do supply teaching and spent over five weeks going through their process, attending their offices, completing training, submitting all documentation, and providing references from the outset. My CV made my employment history entirely clear: my last school-based teaching role was in 2018, after which I worked for over five years in education roles within local authority statutory services. This was visible to them from day one. After five weeks, interviews, and considerable time and effort invested, a compliance officer requested a third reference specifically from a teaching role, a requirement that was never communicated at registration, despite them holding my CV throughout. Anyone reading that CV could see that a recent school-based teaching reference was not straightforward. That conversation should have happened in week one, not week five. More seriously: I was sent a consent request to contact an old teaching reference and had not yet responded when they contacted that person anyway, approximately thirty minutes after sending me the email. Contacting a referee without consent is not acceptable practice. I would not recommend Step Teachers to experienced teachers whose career has included roles outside classroom teaching. Your time will not be respected and basic professional standards around consent and communication cannot be taken for granted

Complete waste of time. Mohammed got me to sign up but has been aweful in presenting me with job opportunities. Been almost a year and Ive only been told about 2 vacancies which were over an hour commute. Every few months they email to do a compliance check and ask for references as I have not completed any work with the agency. Maybe you shouldn't have wasted my time by getting me to sign up in the first place if you knew you didn't work with schools in my area.

The team at Step Teachers have been incredibly friendly, supportive and professional throughout the entire registration process. Communication was excellent and all of my enquiries were responded to quickly – usually within the hour. After 29 years of teaching, making the move to an agency felt like a very big step for me, but the team made the process feel easy and reassuring. From the initial interview through to the vetting process, everything was handled thoroughly and efficiently, which really put me at ease. I’m delighted to have made this change and look forward to working with them and dedicating the remainder of my teaching career with such a supportive agency.

I highly recommend Step Teachers, especially the excellent support provided by Mohamed and Miguel . I began working as a cover supervisor with them in Norwich in March 2025. When I moved to London in September, Mohamed was incredibly supportive and gave invaluable advice, helping me choose the best location to ensure maximum shifts. Their guidance and continuous support have made my experience doing cover work for various schools consistently positive!
