We have helped Primary and Secondary teachers find their ideal teaching job in the local education authorities of: Surrey, Kingston, Richmond, Merton, Croydon, Sutton, Bracknell Forest, Slough, Reading, West Berkshire, Wokingham and Windsor & Maidenhead.
Southwest London & Surrey offers a beautiful local in which to live and teach. The region strikes the perfect balance between thriving boroughs and wooded parkland. Surrey itself has many smaller, picturesque villages, which have easy access to central London. You also have the choice to live in the South West of London in the hub of the city life. There are approximately 2.7 million people living in the area and it is one of the wealthiest sub-regions in London. There are excellent road and rail links into London, allowing you to not only explore England but also the world. The major airports of Heathrow and Gatwick are within easy reach. Home to a number of low cost airlines, cheap flights can be found to hundreds of destinations throughout Europe and North Africa – You will never be short of things to do!

The schools we cover
TimePlan’s Southwest London & Surrey office is located in Kingston Upon Thames and offers teaching job opportunities in a diverse range of settings, from urban to extremely rural schools. This office serves the London Boroughs of Richmond, Kingston, Merton (Wimbledon), Sutton and Croydon as well as the counties of Surrey and Berkshire.
There are around 1500 schools in the area, including very small village schools, very large secondary schools similar to those found in larger cities, and everything in-between. More often, you find that schools in this area are more affluent than the ones found in inner London and others are in Education Action Zones, meaning that a plan has been put in place to raise the standards in disadvantaged urban and rural areas.
Several schools in the TimePlan Surrey area achieve the highest academic results in the country and it has a high proportion of grammar, private and fee paying schools. Of course the area is also home to Eton College; the school for the Royal Family.TimePlan’s S/W London & Surrey office is located in Kingston-upon-Thames, South-West London.

Things to do
If you can't decide between the country and the big city, then Surrey is the place for you! It’s a good job teachers get such great holidays to explore all that Southwest London and Surrey have to offer.
You'll find a dazzling array of places to see, and things to do, from the thrills and excitement of Epsom or Ascot Race Course and tennis at Wimbledon, rugby at Twickenham or cricket at the Oval to the heart-stopping rides of Chessington World of Adventure. There is also close-by Henley, where the famous Henley Regatta is held each summer.
Shopaholic? Then why not enjoy a flutter in the chic boutiques of Richmond and Wimbledon Village, explore Kingston's large shopping centre, or hop on a train and be spoilt for choice in central London! Surrey's lively nightlife consists of stylish bars, excellent clubs, and good old English pubs.
Prefer something a little quieter? Surrey has some of the most beautiful countryside away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Richmond Park is a must for the odd picnic or cycle through the ground where the deer wander freely! Or why not get lost in the famous maze at Hampton Court Palace, just along the river Thames from the TimePlan office or ice skating at the Palace at Christmas? You can even try your hand at narrow boating along the English rivers or go and see if the Queen is home at Windsor Castle.
