Australian-Trained Primary Teachers - Ready for Your UK Adventure?

Teach in London. Travel Europe. Get paid on the Inner London pay scale.

SANZA Teaching Agency is currently recruiting Australian-trained Primary Teachers (M1-M6) who are looking to relocate to the UK and continue their teaching career with confidence and support.

As a specialist education agency and proud dual agency with Tradewind Recruitment, we support teachers across London and the wider UK, placing you in schools that value your skills, training, and experience.

Australian-trained teachers are highly sought after in UK primary schools - and for good reason.

Globally recognised qualifications
Most Australian teachers hold a Bachelor of Education or Master of Teaching, both of which are well respected in the UK.

Straightforward QTS pathway
Australian teachers can apply directly for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) through the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) - no additional UK training required.

Teach immediately
Many Australian teachers qualify under the UK's 4-year rule, allowing you to start teaching straight away while applying for QTS (recommended for pay progression).

Strong classroom experience
Typically, at least one full academic year of teaching experience is required, alongside professional registration in Australia.

• Inner London pay scale (M1-M6)
• Long-term and permanent opportunities
• Ongoing support with:
  • School placements
  • QTS guidance
  • CV and interview preparation
  • UK education system transition
• A friendly, experienced team who genuinely understand Australian teachers

Australian teachers commonly work in the UK on:

• Youth Mobility Scheme (Tier
  5)
• UK Ancestry Visa
• Skilled Worker Visa

We re happy to talk you through what typically works best for teachers.

At SANZA, we specialise in placing overseas-trained teachers, particularly from Australia and New Zealand. We know the move is a big one - professionally and personally - and we re here to make it smooth, supportive, and exciting from day one.
