North East Team

Hello I am Andrew and an Education World veteran. I have worked for the company since November 2014 and it’s been quite a journey. I started in a very small office of 4 employees, so its very exciting to see where the company is today with multiple UK offices and close to 30 employees. Initially I was a recruitment consultant running a very successful desk looking after predominately primary schools for a number of years. I took on management responsibilities in 2019 where I continued to run a desk and manage a team of consultants in the North East. My desk continued to grow and so did the team achieving great results year on year. In 2022, I took the difficult decision to give up my desk and focus solely on managing. I now manage Education World temp sales teams across Gateshead, Durham and Sheffield as well as our EWRS team. I look forward to the continued success and growth of these teams into the next few years.

I joined Education World as a Secondary Team Leader in 2019, after working in Education Recruitment for the previous 8 years. I am now very proud to head up the amazing Primary and Secondary consultants across the North East. Here at Education World, we have children’s education at the heart of everything we do, so you can rest assured we will work hard to ensure the best for you and your school! Please feel free to contact me for a chat – I’d love to hear from you!

I joined Education World in 2014 to work as an education recruitment consultant, looking after the schools and candidates in the Durham area. My previous employment had been as a qualified primary school teacher and then a supply teacher. Using my previous career and expertise, my intention was to use my knowledge and be able to develop an office in the Durham area. Over the years, I have formed strong relationships and trust with clients and candidates, enabling me to progress the business. My passion is recruitment, and I like getting excited about anything and everything to do with education - whether it be with my schools or candidates.

I've been here at Education World since 2020 after deciding to take a break from my 10-year primary teaching career. I work with nurseries and mainstream primary schools from central Durham all the way down to Teesdale. I would say my superpower is finding outstanding candidates and matching them to the roles within my wonderful partner schools. I love to visit my schools regularly, and I'll never come empty-handed, sweet treats for all! Another part of my role here is dedicating time to work with our candidates and support them in their professional development, offering them training opportunities and guidance relevant to their roles.

I joined Education World in June 2022 after finishing a Psychology with Business degree at Northumbria University. At Education World, I am part of the Secondary Team servicing Middle and Secondary schools across Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside. Though I lacked prior recruitment experience, being fresh out of university, I have efficiently connected schools and candidates with their perfect fit. Helping people has always been at the forefront of my personality, so being able to help people day in and day out in my role as a consultant is something I thoroughly enjoy doing. Not only have I been able to help schools and candidates, but I have also dedicated my time to volunteer at career events within our partner schools (which are great fun!), enriching students' knowledge of the world of work. Building relationships with schools and candidates is something I value, knowing that I can make their lives just a little bit easier, whether on the staffing or employment front. There is nothing I love more than making a positive impact in the lives of others through my work.

Hi, I’m Matt, your SEND Recruitment Consultant here at Education World. I focus on helping special needs school around Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside. I have worked in education recruitment since April 2022 helping schools in and around South London and Surrey before relocating back to my hometown of Newcastle.
In the past I have volunteered for North Tyneside council, working in a variety of SEND schools and community centres, so I am not afraid to get involved, and as you can probably guess, I am extremely passionate about SEND. My role here at Education World is to match up the ideal candidate to their perfect role, so I feel my role here plays an integral part in both staff and student development.
It’s safe to say I have a real understanding of the SEND environment, so if like myself you have a real passion for SEND then please feel free to reach out to me and together, we can help enrich the future of our local SEND pupils.
