From day one, Hourglass has focused on schools and teachers. Our role is to provide teachers with exactly what they need to relocate and thrive in the most exciting teaching opportunities in the UK.

Australian Teachers
At Hourglass, we’re used to dealing with complex visa requirements. As a result of our long connection with international teachers, we’ve lost count of just how many education professionals and schools we’ve helped through this process.
Canadian Teachers
It’s a great theory: broaden your horizons and kick-start your teaching career in a new country. We ask one Canadian teacher what it’s like in practice.
Jamaican Teachers
We first met Karl in Kingston, Jamaica, when we were holding a recruitment drive for a multi-academy trust. Karl relocated to Surrey and took up his post as a teacher of mathematics in a large secondary school.
New Zealand Teachers
It’s never been easier for New Zealand-trained teachers to come and work in the UK. For years, the Youth Mobility Visa has allowed NZ passport holders the opportunity to spend time in the UK.
South African Teachers
Septimus felt that circumstances were limiting his personal growth – and that his professional objectives would be better met overseas. As a qualified teacher with responsibility in South Africa, his Hourglass consultant knew he’d be a hit in English schools.

Where will you live?
It may not be rocket science – or even GCSE physics – but deciding where to live in the UK can be a tricky decision to make.
Excellence in the UK classroom
Teachers can often find themselves in a ‘catch22’ situation when it comes to lesson planning. Delivering high-quality lessons requires careful preparation and detailed planning especially if you’re adjusting to the curriculum. However, while managing international relocation as well as a challenging workload, teachers might find planning to be time-consuming and burdensome.
Managing behaviour
At the forefront of a classroom teacher’s mind is the need to prevent disruption and maintain good discipline to facilitate students’ education. There are rumours, though, that not everyone in the classroom shares this objective all the time… Read on to make sure you’re in the best shape to encourage good behaviour in the children and young people around you.
