Flexible opportunities with local educational settings

About Flexzo Teach

Flexzo Teach is a recruitment, safeguarding and compliance platform that enables educational settings to book education professionals directly, without the need for an agency, managed service provider or other third-party intermediaries.

Educational settings use the platform for workforce cover, long-term placements and permanent recruitment. We are building local talent pools so more settings can switch on direct bookings in Cambridgeshire. To expand coverage where you live, we are inviting HLTAs to Register. Getting started takes a CV upload and a short profile setup.

When you join, it helps us show local educational settings that they can meet cover needs through a direct model, with transparency and direct communication with you.
