Relocation Funding

If you are appointed to a headship in a community, foundation, voluntary controlled or voluntary aided primary, secondary or special school in Essex and need to move at least 40 miles from outside the County to take up your post, you may be eligible to claim a relocation grant payment of up to £2,500 including VAT if your new address is within 25 miles of the school.

Items that can be claimed under the scheme include removal expenses and storage fees, legal and associated costs in buying and/or selling a property, estate agency fees, incidental expenses and a contribution towards initial costs

For full details of the scheme and an application form, please contact the School Workforce Development Team. Email us on teaching@essex.gov.uk or call us on 01245 436252.

We regret that those appointed to posts in academies are not eligible to apply for the resettlement or relocation grants.
