Education Recruitment Software for UK Schools, MATs & Universities
The teacher shortage is real, and term dates don't wait. Flowxtra helps UK schools, Multi-Academy Trusts, colleges and universities recruit qualified teachers and academic staff before the bell rings — Ofsted-ready, DBS-tracking and DfE-aligned, with safeguarding compliance built in.
Fill teaching vacancies before term starts — not after
A Maths teacher vacancy on the first day of term means a cover supervisor in front of Year 11. Flowxtra posts to TES, Eteach, Reed Education, Indeed UK and the DfE's Teaching Vacancies service simultaneously, filters by subject specialism and key stage, and keeps your pipeline moving so you hire before the half-term break.
- Post to TES, Eteach, Reed Education, Indeed UK and DfE Teaching Vacancies in one click
- Filter by subject specialism, key stage and contract type (permanent, fixed-term, maternity cover)
- Automated reminders keep teacher candidates engaged — fewer last-minute withdrawals
Manage Enhanced DBS checks and safeguarding compliance automatically
Safer recruitment isn't optional under KCSIE — and tracking DBS status in a spreadsheet is a safeguarding risk. Flowxtra tracks Enhanced DBS status per candidate automatically, reminds applicants to initiate their check, and gives your safeguarding lead a real-time view of who is and isn't cleared to start. Ofsted-audit-ready single central record.
- Enhanced DBS status tracked per candidate — visible in pipeline and audit-ready
- Automated reminders for candidates who need to initiate or renew their DBS check
- Single central record (SCR) of references, interview notes and DBS dates — Ofsted-ready
Build your school's employer brand to attract the best teachers

Job filters built for UK teaching roles — not generic HR software

- Candidates select subject specialism and school phase at application — no ambiguity
- Filter by DBS status before scheduling interviews — safeguarding protected from day one
