Teacher Recruitment for Australian Schools

Relief, fixed-term and permanent teachers for government, Catholic and independent schools, screened by someone who knows the classroom.

The problem we solve

When your relief list runs dry

It's 7am, two teachers are unwell, and your usual TRTs are already booked. Or a teacher is starting parental leave next term and the role has had no suitable applicants.

Umoja works alongside your existing relief arrangements. We're an extra option when your own pool isn't enough, not a replacement for it.

Our services

Teaching staff for every kind of vacancy.

Temporary Relief Teaching

Registered teachers for daily, short-term and planned absences across primary and secondary. Umoja employs the teacher and handles pay, superannuation and workers' compensation, so your school simply books.

Currently available for South Australian schools.

Fixed-Term & Leave Cover

Teachers for parental leave, long-service leave, secondments and term-based contracts. We match subject area, year level and the continuity your students need.

In South Australia we can supply the teacher through labour hire. Elsewhere, we recruit the teacher for your school to employ directly.

Permanent Recruitment

We search for and screen candidates for permanent roles in schools across Australia, particularly hard-to-fill positions in regional and remote areas and in specialist subjects. The teacher is employed directly by your school or department.

Overseas-Trained Teachers

Our network includes internationally qualified teachers. We only put forward candidates who already hold, or are eligible for, teacher registration in the state or territory where they'll work, and the right to work in Australia.

Umoja does not provide visa or immigration advice.

How it works

From request to classroom, in four steps.

01

Tell us what you need

Dates, year levels, subjects and any school-specific requirements.

02

We match

We shortlist teachers whose registration and clearances are current.

03

You confirm

You approve the teacher before they start.

04

We follow up

We check in after the placement and act on your feedback.

Our screening standard

Every teacher checked before they reach your classroom.

A document emailed isn't a document verified. We check each teacher's registration and clearances directly and track expiry dates, so nothing lapses mid-placement.

Before any placement we verify

  • Current teacher registration in the relevant state or territory (e.g. TRB SA, VIT, NESA, QCT)
  • Working with children clearance for that state or territory (e.g. WWCC, Blue Card)
  • Mandatory reporting training required in that state (e.g. RRHAN-EC in SA)
  • First aid (where the school requires it)
  • Identity and right to work in Australia
  • Professional referees
Why Umoja

An education recruiter that understands schools.

Led by a registered relief teacher

We know what a good relief day looks like from the classroom side, and what a daily organiser needs at 7am.

Licensed and compliant

SA Labour Hire Licence No. 357563 for relief and fixed-term placements, with ethical recruitment and equal opportunity commitments.

Supplementary, not a takeover

We fit around your daily organiser and existing TRT list, and step in when you need more cover.

Regional focus

We actively recruit for schools in regional and remote areas, where finding teachers is hardest.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Who employs the relief teacher?

For relief and fixed-term placements through labour hire, Umoja does, and we handle pay, superannuation and workers' compensation. For permanent placements, your school or department employs the teacher directly.

Do you work with schools outside South Australia?

Yes, for permanent recruitment. Relief and fixed-term labour hire is currently available in South Australia, where we're licensed. Labour hire in Queensland, Victoria and the ACT requires a separate licence in each.

Do you work with government schools?

Yes, where the school's department allows it. Government schools usually recruit through their department's systems, but many engage recruiters for hard-to-fill and regional roles.

Can you guarantee same-day cover?

We'll always tell you honestly whether we can fill a request before you rely on it.

Are your teachers registered?

Yes. Every teacher we place holds current registration with the teacher regulatory authority in the state or territory where they'll work, which we verify before placement.

Can you sponsor overseas teachers?

Visa sponsorship is between the school or employer and the Department of Home Affairs. We recommend seeking advice from a registered migration agent. Umoja does not provide visa or immigration advice.

Important

Umoja Global Staffing Solutions is a recruitment and staffing business. Teacher registration, qualification recognition, visa eligibility and employment suitability are determined by the relevant authorities, schools and employers. Introduction to a school does not guarantee registration, sponsorship, a visa or employment.
