From senior leaders to English teachers, IT specialists, or Finance professionals, we can source and attract high calibre permanent candidates across all phases of education for a wide variety of school based or Multi-Academy.
When sickness or emergencies arise, schools often rely on daily supply staff to ensure continuity in the classroom. Whether you need cover for a single day or extended support, we provide reliable, pre-vetted professionals at short notice.
These roles often arise from extended sickness cover, parental leave, or when a school is trialling a new position before making it permanent. We help schools maintain consistency and stability in the classroom by finding the right educators to recruit. Short-term placements also include Exam Invigilator roles.
Permanent placements offer long-term stability in a school. We support schools in recruiting high-quality permanent staff through our network of educators. Our approach ensures we find the right long-term fit for your team and students.
From breakfast clubs to after-school provision, we supply flexible staff to support extended school hours. Whether short-term or ongoing, we help ensure consistency and safeguarding.
