Find Education Recruitment Agencies

An education recruitment agency recruits staff on behalf of schools, academies, trusts and colleges — for example day-to-day supply, longer-term cover or permanent posts. The agency manages the application and, for temporary work, is usually the organisation that engages and pays you.

The vacancy is advertised by the agency rather than the school. You apply to the agency, which handles screening and puts your details forward. Terms, pay arrangements and notice differ between agencies and between assignments, so ask the agency to confirm them in writing.

Each vacancy page on SchoolJobs.uk names the recruiting organisation and says whether the role is agency-managed or advertised directly by a school or trust. The counts in this directory only include vacancies confirmed as managed by that agency.

Yes, where the school or trust advertises the role directly. Browse the schools and academy trust directories for vacancies posted by the employer rather than by an agency.

Specialisms, recruitment types and geographic coverage are only displayed when we hold supported evidence for them — supplied by the agency or recorded from a reviewed source. Where we hold no evidence, nothing is shown rather than guessed from job adverts.

Agencies fill many roles without advertising, and temporary bookings can come and go within a day. A zero count means nothing is currently advertised here — it does not mean the agency is inactive.

Register an agency account and submit a claim on the listing. An approved claim confirms who manages the listing and allows the agency to supply its own specialisms, coverage and vacancies. It is not a verification or endorsement.
