Thoughtful, responsive recruitment that understands the pressures of school life, and finds educators who fit the role, the setting and the wider school community.
Every school community is different. We take the time to understand yours, and find the right person, not just the available one.
Reliable cover for absences and short-notice gaps. Available from early morning so your school is never left short-staffed.
Need someone for a term or longer? We match educators who can commit, settle in and make a genuine contribution to your community.
When you're ready to hire permanently, we run a thorough search, saving you time, advertising costs and guesswork.
Specialist recruitment for settings where understanding really matters. We recognise the value of specialist educators and the environments they help create.
EYFS through KS2. Teachers, TAs, HLTAs, lunchtime supervisors and more.
All subjects and departments, cover supervisors, pastoral support and leadership.
1:1 support, SENCOs, specialist provision and experienced SEN teaching staff.
Every educator we place is recruited and vetted in line with the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education statutory guidance. Safeguarding is not an area where we cut corners.
All educators hold a current enhanced DBS certificate including a children's barred list check, verified against the update service.
References obtained directly from previous employers and verified before placement, in line with KCSIE Part Three requirements.
Full identity verification and right-to-work checks completed and documented for every educator on our books.
QTS status and relevant qualifications verified directly with awarding bodies, including prohibition from teaching checks.
Full employment history reviewed, with any gaps explored and satisfactorily explained before an educator is placed.
Where an educator has lived or worked abroad, we obtain the appropriate overseas criminal record checks.
Full compliance files available on request. We're happy to share our vetting documentation with your safeguarding lead or business manager at any point, before or after a placement.
Working with Educate East means more than filling a vacancy. Every placement you make with us contributes to a community fund that goes straight back into schools across the East of England.
Partner schools can put forward a project that would make a genuine difference, a sensory room, a reading corner, an outdoor classroom, a wellbeing space.
A portion of every placement fee goes into the Give Back fund. That fund is what pays for the projects our partner schools nominate.
The educators we place in your school benefit too, Termly Impact Rewards for qualified teachers who work regularly with us, and free CPD for every educator.
Fill in the form and we'll be in touch, usually within a few hours.
Call us directly, we're available from early morning to make sure you're covered.
