Mainstream schools & EYFSMatching Teachers and support staff with secondary schools where they will thrive is extremely rewarding, especially because educators are so influential to students throughout their teenage years.
I have worked in recruitment for over a decade and the education sector is very important to me. I love visiting the schools I work alongside. It’s an important way to develop relationships and truly understand their ethos and culture.

Before you can start work, you will need to register with us and provide all the relevant documentation. As soon as your file is clear with the DBS and we have verified ID and references, you could be working the next day.
It all depends on how quickly we can obtain your references and await a DBS. We always ask candidates to be as proactive as they can, chasing references and sending all documents in order to help speed up the process.
