Our Community

Every placement strengthens a community.

The Educate East Community Impact Fund is our commitment to the educators and schools we serve, built into our DNA.

Why we built this

"Recruitment should strengthen education communities, not just fill vacancies."

The people who work in education are doing some of the most important work in our society. Teachers, teaching assistants, support staff, they show up every day for children who need them, often without the recognition or reward they deserve.

Schools across the East of England are doing incredible things with limited budgets. Sensory rooms that help children with SEND feel safe. Reading corners that open up worlds. Outdoor spaces that let kids breathe. These things matter, and they often go unfunded.

We started Educate East because we believed recruitment could be a force for good in the communities we serve. The Community Impact Fund is how we make that real.

Three commitments. Zero conditions.

Refer a good educator

Good people know good people

The best educators often come recommended by someone who already trusts them. When you point one our way, we say thank you properly.

£100
For partner schools

Refer an educator to us

If a partner school refers an educator to us, you receive a £100 bonus for every educator you send our way. A small thank you for helping us find the people who make a difference in classrooms across the East of England.

£100
For educators

Recommend a colleague

If you refer another educator to us, you receive a £100 bonus when they join. The people you have worked alongside and trust are exactly the people we want in our community.

Referral bonuses are paid once the referred educator is placed. T&Cs apply.

Every placement strengthens the community.

The Community Impact Fund isn't something we switch on when times are good. It's written into how Educate East operates, a permanent commitment to the people and schools that make education in the East of England what it is.
