    If you are living in the UK it is a great resource for finding jobs. The benefit of using an agency initially is that they handle all the paperwork, and some will cover your travel expenses over for interviews if you are living in Ireland.

    A school you find through TES is less likely to do this. Although there will be more permanent jobs available through TES.

    Yes i have seen alot of permanent jobs available on the Tes website, the agency looks like the easier option, but wheter it is the best in the long is another issue.

    Use them as a platform to get into the system, you can then search for your own job. This could be one course of action.

    I agree with Dave0301. Using an agency is handy in terms of CRB check, setting up interviews etc. Plus they reimburse you for any overnights/ flights while you interview. Worth using them as a crutch until you get to know the UK system.

    I went through TES and got a job on my second interview.
    I would have had to go through an agency after that interview as I couldn't afford any more flights over for interviews.

    I'm on Outer London M1 so it's not a lot but it's a full time contract so I know I'll be getting paid that for all my holidays as well.
    I've the option to opt out of pension payments which will be another £150 a month if I decide to do that which I think I will so I'll then be on about £1700 a month take home.

    Paying £450 a month for rent but thinking of moving somewhere more central so that will probably increase to 550 or so.

    Highly recommend going without an agency if you can afford to get yourself over for an interview or two.
