1. About Us

1.1 We are Teacher Booker Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 10565524 and with our registered office at 64 Southwark Bridge Road, London, England, SE1 0AS.

• 1.2.2 If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail, text, or by pre-paid post, in each case using the details you provide to us when you set up your Worker Profile.

2. Use of Our App

Your use of the App is governed by our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy. Please take the time to read these, as they include important terms which apply to you.

3. Our Services

3.1 Our App enables your Worker Profile to be uploaded to a database which is searchable by Client Organisations who are registered with the App (“Clients”), and who are looking for a worker (“Worker”) for temporary or permanent roles to provide them with worker services (“Worker Services”).

3.2 If a Client requires Worker Services, it may use the App to (i) set certain criteria and specifications in relation to both the nature of the relevant worker assignment it requires (“Assignment”) and the profile and day rate or salary of the workers it wishes to engage; and (ii) post the details of such Assignment to one or more of the workers who meet the Client's criteria.

4. Worker Profile

4.1 In order to register with the App and to set up a Worker Profile, you will be required to provide certain personal information and documentation (which may include, without limitation, your name, address, email address, mobile telephone number, bank account details, CV, copies of all relevant qualifications, a minimum of two personal and professional references, evidence that you are eligible to work in the UK, and an up-to-date DBS certificate) (“Personal Information”).

4.2 We will share your Personal Information and Worker Profile (i) in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy, available on our website; (ii) with your employing entity; or (iii) with Clients in order that we can provide the Services; and (iv) with any third parties with whom we need to share such information in order to complete the verification process set out in clause 4.4 below. Where the lawful basis for our sharing your Personal Information is consent, we will ask you for such consent before doing so. Where you have shared your Personal Information directly with an unaffiliated supplier entity, the terms of that entity's privacy notice shall also apply.

4.3 You must notify us if your Personal Information changes at any time.

4.4 Once you have registered and your Personal Information has been submitted for consideration, we (or one of our partners or affiliates) will undertake a process of verification of your Personal Information. Subject to the satisfactory completion of such verification, we (or one of our partners or affiliates) may require you to attend an interview at our premises (or at the premises of one of our partners or affiliates) or via video conference.

4.5 Once the steps set out above have been completed satisfactorily and your Worker Profile has been finalised, we (or one of our partners or affiliates) will make your Worker Profile visible to Clients and you will be able to make use of the Services.

4.6 In order to accept and undertake any Assignments in accordance with these Terms, you will be required to enter into a contract for services, unless agreed otherwise with a supplier contract, with an employing entity which has been approved by us (each a “Supplier Contract”). You will be deemed to have entered into the Supplier Contract upon confirmation of your first Assignment.

4.7 We reserve the right at any time, and at our sole discretion, to (i) refuse to provide the Services; and (ii) remove your Worker Profile from the App.

4.8 If you would like your Worker Profile to be removed from our App or if you no longer wish us to share your Personal Information as per clause 4.2, please contact us using the details set out in clause 1.2.1 above.

5. Worker Assignments

5.1 A Client may use our App to post an Assignment which is to commence either (i) on the same or next day (“Short Notice Assignment”); or (ii) on any other date in the future (“Future Assignment”).

5.2 If a Client elects to post an Assignment to one or more Workers, they will each receive a notification (“Notification”). The Notification will set out:

• the commencement date and duration of the Assignment;
• the profile of the Client;
• the location of the Assignment (if different to that set out in the profile of the Client);
• the day rate or salary payable to you for the Worker Services required if applicable;
• expenses payable to you (if any);
• details of any relevant behavioural or other policies of the Client;
• any health and safety issues involved in the Assignment;
• the time at which you will be required to attend the Assignment and the details of the individual to whom you are to report;
• the hours you will be expected to work;
• notice requirements for the Assignment (if applicable);
• details of the qualifications and experience required for the Assignment;
• details of any documents or forms of identification you will be required to take to the Assignment;
• confirmation of the employing entity through which you will be working;
• any terms and conditions which may apply to the provision of the Worker Services; and
• any other relevant details of the Assignment.

Short Term Assignments

5.3 Where a Notification relates to a Short Notice Assignment, the Worker Services shall be provided by the first Worker to accept such Assignment.

5.4 If you are the first Worker to accept a Short Notice Assignment, you will be sent confirmation that you were the first to accept. It is upon the provision of such confirmation that you agree (i) to provide the Worker Services to the Client under the terms of the Assignment and in accordance with your Supplier Contract; and (ii) to perform the obligations set out in clause 6. You acknowledge and accept that unless you receive confirmation that you were the first Worker to accept a Short Notice Assignment, you have not successfully accepted such Assignment and shall not be providing the Worker Services in respect thereof.

Future Assignments

5.5 Where a Notification has been sent in relation to a Future Assignment, the Client may consider all Workers who register an interest in such Assignment (regardless of the order in which they do so), and then select from that group which Worker they wish to provide the Worker Services.

5.6 If you are the Worker so selected, you must accept or decline the Future Assignment within any acceptance deadline set by the Client. If you accept the Future Assignment, it is upon such acceptance that you agree (i) to provide the Worker Services to the Client under the terms of the Assignment and in accordance with your Supplier Contract; and (ii) to perform the obligations set out in clause 6. If you do not accept the Future Assignment, the offer shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and the Client shall be free to offer the Assignment to another Worker.

Withdrawal

5.7 A Client may withdraw an offer of an Assignment at any time provided that it has not been accepted by a Worker.

6. Your Obligations

6.1 You shall:
