TouchDown Package
Teaching with TimePlan, you’ll hit the ground running with the TimePlan TouchDown package!
At TimePlan, we’re experienced in helping teachers move to a new country, continue their career and settle into a different way of life. After all, we’ve been doing this for longer than anyone else! The TimePlan TouchDown package ensures a hassle-free transition to the UK, making your landing a smooth one. Your TimePlan TouchDown package includes:
A SIM Card for your Mobile Phone
Keep in touch with friends and family from the moment you arrive. TimePlan offers immediate connection to a top UK mobile network. All you need is an unlocked mobile phone and we will take care of the rest.
Accommodation Help and Advice
Since the UK varies from region to region you need our local knowledge. Our Regional Offices can offer expert advice on both temporary and long term accommodation that is tried and tested by other TimePlan Teachers. From suggesting reliable property agents to securing a room for you in one of our affiliated houses, you’ll be sleeping easy in no time.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles ... Getting you from A to Z!
TimePlan Regional Offices are happy to help you find the quickest, safest and most reliable transfer from the airport to your destination when you land. Be it a taxi to your front door or your first adventure on the tube, our coordinators know the best and most convenient routes.
UK Bank Account
Start saving those British Pounds from the moment you touchdown! TimePlan will help you set up an account at one of the UK’s leading banks quickly and without hassle.
National Insurance Number
A National Insurance number is a unique number which records the contributions you make when you pay tax. You need to apply for a National Insurance number before or soon after you start work in the UK. TimePlan will make applying for your National Insurance number straightforward and trouble-free, skipping the interview stage that often makes the process painful!
Induction to the UK
Welcome! Upon your arrival in the UK, we organise for you to visit your local TimePlan Office where you will receive your Welcome Pack and meet your TimePlan Team.
Cash Bonuses
TimePlan recognises your commitment to teaching by rewarding regular service with cash bonuses. Currently, you’ll receive an EXTRA £50 once you’ve worked 15 days for TimePlan. Whether you put it towards a weekend away or simply add it to your savings account, the choice is yours ...
Payroll and Taxation Advice
TimePlan’s Financial Services Team will answer any payroll and taxation questions you have to help you get the most out of your hard-earned pounds! Our in-house Chartered Accountant will advise you on tax refunds and help you claim your tax back at no cost – other agencies will charge you 10-20% of your tax refund for this service.
Free UK Police Clearance
A Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check is a requirement to teach in UK schools. TimePlan covers the processing fee for all our working teachers… saving you £36!
