Refer a friend or colleague scheme terms & conditions

Smart Teacher’s refer a friend or colleague scheme gives individuals the opportunity to earn a £125 bonus for themselves and a £125 bonus for the teacher or school support worker they refer once the person referred completes 30 full days’ supply with Smart Teachers or has been appointed to a permanent role through our Search and Select Service. There are no restrictions on the number of referrals an individual can make.

Qualifying for a referral bonus

The referred candidate must:

• be living/working in the UK, or be eligible to work in the UK
• not have registered or applied to register with Smart Teachers within the last 6 months
• be referred before they register or at the point of their registration interview
• not have been referred by another person. Only one referral can be made per candidate and a reward may only be given once for this candidate. If two people refer the same candidate, Smart Teachers will identify who referred the candidate first, and
• be referred and complete a minimum of 30 full days’ supply within a 12-month period or be appointed to a permanent role through our Search & Select Service and have been in the role for 6 weeks.

• not be a consultant, resourcer or member of the Senior Leadership Team at Smart Teachers, or be related or known personally to any of these Smart Teachers employees, and
• obtain the permission of the teacher or school support worker they are referring to Smart Teachers before submitting their details as required by general data protection legislation. The referee will indemnify Smart Teachers for any loss or claim arising out of the referee’s failure to procure such consent.

Claiming and paying a referral bonus

• The referrer must contact Smart Teachers to claim their bonus once the referred candidate has completed the required 30 full days’ supply or been appointed to a permanent role through our Search & Select Service and have been in the role for 6 weeks.
• The referral bonus must be claimed within six months of the qualifying period.

No cash or alternative vouchers are available. If the person making the referral works for a school, college or any other learning provider and met the candidate they are referring through work, the bonus will be paid to their employer eg the school - not the individual.
• The Amazon gift voucher/card will be sent out recorded delivery. If the Amazon gift voucher/card is stolen, lost, lost in transit or destroyed, this is not the responsibility of Smart Teachers.
