Our Schools’ Post service has a track record of getting job roles seen by potential applicants – and helping schools successfully recruit the people they need. Here are some of those we’ve served.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if a job closes before I apply?
Job deadlines are clearly shown on each listing. If you miss one, subscribe to our weekly alerts to stay ahead of new openings in the same category or location.
Can I save jobs to apply later?
Currently, we recommend bookmarking roles you're interested in or signing up for alerts so you're notified when similar positions become available.
What if I'm looking for part-time or flexible work?
Many of our listings include part-time, term-time, and flexible options. Use the contract type filter when browsing to find roles that match your availability.
How often are new jobs added?
New roles are posted regularly throughout the week. If you sign up for our weekly job alerts, you'll get fresh vacancies delivered to your inbox so you never miss an opportunity.
Can I apply for roles outside Plymouth?
Yes. While we're based in Plymouth, we cover vacancies across Devon and Cornwall. You can filter by location to find roles that fit your commute or preferred area.
What types of roles do you advertise?
We cover the full spectrum of education jobs: teachers, teaching assistants, leadership positions, admin staff, site managers, and supply roles across primary, secondary, SEN, MATs, and independent schools.
How quickly do schools respond?
Because the schools on our platform are actively hiring, most respond within a few days. If a role is urgent or closing soon, you may hear back even faster.
Who will see my application?
Your application goes directly to the school advertising the role. Schools' Post doesn't act as a recruiter or middleman - we're simply the platform that connects you with local schools.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can browse all live vacancies without logging in. If you want to receive weekly job alerts, you'll just need to provide your email address.
Is Schools' Post free to use?
Yes, completely. There are no sign-up fees, subscription charges, or hidden costs. Browse roles, set up job alerts, and apply as many times as you like - all for free.
How do I place an advert?
Simply ring the team on 01752 788076 or email schoolspost@plpcic.co.uk with your advert text in word format and we will do the rest. A proof will be sent to you before the advert “goes live”.

I need to make an amendment to an advert I have already posted, is this possible?
