Here for the Educators...

At SOS, we back educators not just with bookings, but with real care, fair pay, and a system that sees you.

We’re here to help you find work that aligns with your values, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you’re after flexibility as a Casual Relief Teacher or seeking longer-term roles, we take the time to understand who you are, what you bring, and where you thrive.

Our commitment is simple: genuine support, competitive pay, and access to schools that value your work. With over 30 years behind us, we’ve built a network that works, trusted by educators and schools alike.

single step."

We're About Building Connections

At SOS, we connect educators with school environments where they can genuinely contribute, grow, and feel valued.

This starts by understanding how you teach, where you thrive, and what you’re looking for, whether that’s flexibility, consistency or something new.


When you register with SOS, you’ll move through a clear, guided onboarding process and be supported by a team that communicates openly. Our goal is simple but purposeful: to find the right fit for you and the right educator for every school.

What Our People Say
About SOS

I found SOS to be organised and confident when placing me. When arriving at school, I knew exactly what grade I was to be teaching. The staff seemed happy no matter what time I was contacted.

The SOS team are extremely organised, friendly and flexible where they make every effort to ensure that there is regular work for me in a range of good local schools. The staff keep you informed and up to date.

From the very beginning, SOS Teaching Agency demonstrated a commitment to excellence and a genuine concern for the well-being of both educators and students.

SOS Teacher Agency has allowed me flexibility in choosing my Teaching hours each Term for over 15 years. I am continually impressed with their professional approach in school placements.

I would certainly recommend SOS to graduates that I meet. There is a supportive community aspect to their method of operations that can make a big difference for teachers that are just starting out.

The fact that SOS Teacher Agency call you regarding jobs which is a nice personal touch rather than an app or text which although technology is wonderful, it’s not warm and friendly like a phones from an SOS staff member.

Types of Work

The teaching opportunities we offer come under the following main categories

Long Term Teaching: Contract and Permanent Teaching Positions

Teachers and ELC Educators will have the opportunity to apply for long term teaching contracts as they become available to SOS Teacher Agency. Such contracts will last between six weeks to an entire academic year and even through to permanent contracts. This is an option for the teacher who seeks the security of regular employment or who simply wants to teach in one school setting.

Casual Relief Teaching
(CRT)

Casual teachers fill in for short-term absences, ranging from one to two days or up to one to two weeks. This type of work is ideal for teachers who prefer not to commit to long-term positions and want to experience diverse socio-economic environments in schools. Daily casual teaching provides flexibility for teachers looking for a flexible lifestyle. At Staffing Organisation Services, we regularly place numerous teachers in casual positions every day.

Teacher Aides & School Service Officers

Support staff in schools provide essential assistance, individualised support, and guidance to students. They enhance the learning experience, promote emotional well-being, and foster collaboration among teachers, creating a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Apply now at SOS Teacher Agency for exciting placements and job opportunities.
