Tes.com UK Education Jobs Scraper

Scrape teaching jobs from Tes.com, the UK's leading education recruitment platform. Paste a search URL or a keyword and location; get every listing back as structured JSON with employer, salary, teaching stage, subject, contract type, start date, closing date — and, unique to this actor, both the school-wide contact block AND the per-vacancy contact block that Tes exposes in its two on-page popups.

What it does

Pulls live UK and international teaching vacancies from Tes.com search results, deduplicates them, and pushes them to your Apify dataset. Handles pagination automatically up to your result cap. Optionally opens each job's detail page to add structured salary ranges, ISO closing dates, full descriptions, and both contact popups. Optionally follows the employer profile page for About-us text, gallery images, school phase/funding/gender/age range and a list of every other open role at that school.

Fields you get per job:

• Job title, employer name, employer logo
• Location, country, salary (min, max, currency, period)
• Teaching stage (primary, secondary, sixth form, nursery)
• Subject (Maths, English, SEND, MFL, etc.)
• Position type (leadership, classroom, support, HLTA, SEN)
• Contract type (permanent, fixed-term, supply, maternity)
• Start date, closing date, working pattern
• School type (state, independent, academy, faith, special)
• Ofsted rating where mentioned in the ad
• Direct application URL
• School / employer website (from schema.org sameAs + School contact details popup)
• School postal address: street, city, postcode, country (from schema.org jobLocation.address)
• job_contact_email + job_contact_phone — per-vacancy contact info from the Job contact details popup (may differ from row to row at the same school)
• company_phone + company_website — employer-wide contact info from the School contact details popup
• With includeCompanyDetails=true: About-us text, gallery photos, school phase, funding status, gender intake, age range, denomination, and every other open role at the same employer

Two contact popups, both extracted (unique to this actor)

Tes.com exposes two distinct contact blocks on every vacancy page and most competitor scrapers only grab one (or neither). This actor extracts both:

1. School contact details — employer-wide. Applies to every job posted by that school. Populates company_website and company_phone.
2. Job contact details — per-vacancy. May be a different email/phone for each vacancy at the same school (schools often route vacancies to specific recruiters). Populates job_contact_email and job_contact_phone.

If your outreach hits the wrong mailbox, applications get lost. Getting both means you can address the specific recruiter for a role and still fall back to the school's central contact when the per-vacancy one is blank.

Why this scraper

Built HTTP-only in Go for consistent speed and low cost. Uses schema.org JobPosting data on detail pages plus the Next.js hydration payload for the two contact popups, so both job_contact_email and company_phone come straight from Tes's own data model rather than screen-scraping rendered popups. Derives teaching stage, subject and school type from title and ad copy using UK curriculum vocabulary (KS1 through KS5, EYFS, SEND, MAT, faith).

Common use cases

• Recruitment agencies tracking new vacancies daily and reaching out to the exact per-vacancy recruiter
• MATs and school groups benchmarking competitor pay bands
• Ed-tech vendors building account lists of UK schools by size, type and phase
• Teaching supply pools monitoring maternity and supply openings
• Universities running graduate outcomes research on NQT placements
• Direct-mail campaigns to school-wide addresses using verified postal + phone data

Notes and limits

• Coverage: UK primary, secondary, sixth form, SEN and international schools that post on Tes.com
• Tes lists roles beyond the UK (Dubai, China, Cyprus, etc.); use the location field to narrow to UK cities if you only want domestic jobs
• Ofsted rating is only populated when the school explicitly names it in the ad
• Some employer branding pages return salary as "Undisclosed"; that carries through as a null salary range
• job_contact_email and job_contact_phone are only populated when the school has filled them in on that specific vacancy — some job types (e.g. leadership-recruiter-managed adverts) leave them blank
• includeCompanyDetails=true deduplicates by employer within a single run: 25 jobs at 5 unique schools = 5 company-detail-result charges, not 25
• Start dates like "ASAP" or "Immediate" are preserved verbatim rather than forced into ISO format
