The Teacher Recruitment team is able to assist you find accommodation in the following ways:
Housing Options
The Government has defined teachers as 'Key workers' and from April 2006 introduced a new keyworker housing scheme to replace Keyworker Living. The new scheme, Housing Options, aims to help teachers buy or rent affordable housing in the capital through equity free loans, shared ownership and intermediate renting. They also have a first time buyers scheme available and various developments through-out London. We encourage Hounslow's permanent teachers to apply for these schemes.
Please visit www.housingoptions.co.uk or call Metropolitan Housing on 020 8920 7777.
Hounslow Council
Hounslow has its own number of housing initiatives up and running and we take a much broader definition of the term 'Keyworker'.
Please visit www.hounslow.gov.uk/keyworker to view information on available schemes across the borough and to apply online.
