Sussex Teachers are the leading local independent teaching agency service in Brighton & Hove and Sussex. Founded in 2007, Sussex Teachers was born out of frustration with the service being provided by large corporate agencies to the schools of Sussex.

We felt strongly that the supply of teaching services available in Sussex could be improved upon; by offering a more personal approach, rather than one bound by targets and year-on-year growth.

Our mission is to offer a reliable and cost-effective teaching service for local Sussex schools, teachers and support staff. We are not backed by any shareholders and thus prefer instead to be accountable to local schools, teachers, county councils and the DfE.

Because our people matter most, we specialise in matching teachers and support staff with their dream job and help primary, secondary and SEN schools recruit for a wider range of roles in Sussex.
