Created by Engage Education and run by our global team, iday is a revolution in teacher recruitment.
This year, iday is currently entirely virtual – we hope to return to in-person events in the near future!
Our Virtual iday events are an exciting way for teachers from around the world to connect with wonderful schools in the UK looking for permanent qualified teachers. The opportunity to meet with multiple employers means more chances at landing that dream role – with a school that matches your skill set and career progression plans.
Since 2010, Engage Education have invested time and money to make sure overseas teachers looking to secure the right role in England, have the most transparent experience possible and as a result, success in their British school. This means happy teachers and happy schools. There is no better way of securing a role that visiting the school, teaching a lesson and meeting staff and students. This is why iday is a huge success and we have helped 1,000’s of teachers via this week long, expenses paid experience in England.
iday events are held in March. April and May for teachers keen on securing a role for September, which is the start of the UK school year. If a teacher wants to secure a role for January, there is an event in November.
Yes! In over 8 years we have helped close to 2,000 teachers into their first teaching job in England and their success is evident in long standing contracts in the schools they secured work in. We have a 94% success rate in find the right job for the teachers attending.
If you are selected and invited to attend iday, your flights, accommodation and most meals are included during the week, as well as all transfers to and from airports and schools you visit. You have free professional development and a tour of London.
Our head office in Watford in Hertfordshire, just north west of London and 20 minutes on a train to Euston station. You will stay in a hotel in Watford and attend the iday event close by. Your school visits may be close or far away, depending on your preferences. You are taxied top and from schools and the airport.
A great iday candidate will have UK working rights or be able to apply to gain them. An iday teacher will be 100% keen to live and work in England for the season they are interviewing for and have a positive attitude and some great teaching references. If you are more flexible on location, you are more likely to get an invite to iday. There are no obligations if we offer you a place, but we are thrilled that the event is always success and full of like-minded teachers keen to meet other teachers like them and secure a great role for an agreed future start date.
