Recruiting for your school
Most of the schools we work with are accustomed to handling recruitment in-house, but there are many advantages to engaging a specialist agency. Here are just five:
Reducing your workload
Managing recruitment during a busy term can be a demanding job, leaving little time for your own. We can do the legwork – handling advertising, applications, screening and more – freeing you from all but the key steps of interviewing shortlisted candidates and deciding who gets the good news.
A broader reach
Roles you have asked us to work on are advertised on The Guardian, our website and other platforms free of charge, but we're proactive in seeking out new talent too, through targeted search campaigns and enhanced access to social media.
A treasure trove of talent
We've built an extensive database of high quality candidates over 13 years as sector specialists, which includes teachers at all levels and for a wide variety of subjects, all over the UK.
Tailored to your needs
We spend time visiting your school to ensure we fully understand your culture, ethos and requirements, and ensure every interaction reflects your high standards and values.
100% risk-free
Our rates are highly competitive, with no charge at all if we don't find someone you're delighted to appoint to the role.

Help with your job search
If you're looking for a great new position in an independent school, you're in the right place. Registering with us as a candidate can help you in a number of ways:
School applications can take a lot of work, yet leave you no further forward if you don’t get the job. One application through us, however, can open doors to multiple opportunities across a diverse range of exceptional schools.
Being put forward to a school as someone we recommend can give additional weight to your application.
We provide detailed, one-to-one support and advice at every step of the way: from your CV and covering letter, right through the interview process to navigating your first week in the job.
Only you can get the job, but we can equip you with insight and expertise gained from years of personal experience to give you the best possible chance of success.
