Our services

Flexible support, tailored to your school

With years of experience in education recruitment, we have a good sense of the support you'll need, and we make sure the right people are available.

Ad hoc supply

We're always building a strong pool of talented staff who are ready to step in whenever you need them, whether it's planned in advance or on the day. Even in those last-minute moments, you can count on us to find the right person for your school.

Permanent recruitment

You only pay if we find the right person, saving you the cost and hassle of advertising that doesn't deliver. We work closely with you to define the role and agree a process that suits your school. We can handle everything, or just step in where needed.

Partnership agreements

We love working in partnership with multi-academy trusts, federations, consortia and individual schools, making recruitment simple, effective and tailored to your needs.

  • A dedicated, experienced consultant who truly understands your school
