Education recruitment built around your school

From urgent supply cover to long-term placements, permanent recruitment and tutoring, Education World helps schools and education settings find the right people, with dedicated consultants, robust safeguarding and 20 years of sector experience.

More than a vacancy brief

Finding the right person starts with understanding the place they'll be working.

For 20 years, Education World has supported schools and education settings with temporary, long-term and permanent recruitment. Our consultants take the time to understand your provision, the role and what matters beyond the job description before we start matching candidates.

We put extra time into communication, extra care into compliance and safeguarding, and extra thought into the people we introduce. The aim isn't to send you the most CVs. It's to send you people who make sense for your setting.

We pride ourselves on putting that extra time into communicating with you, that extra care into completing our compliance and safeguarding procedures and that extra thought into supplying you with not just any staff, but staff with the experience, qualifications and energy to suit YOUR provision.

We strive to go that extra mile, to give you an extra personal service.

Request staff

From tomorrow morning to the long term

Staffing needs don't always arrive with much notice. You might need cover tomorrow, someone for the rest of term or the right person to join your team permanently. Education World supports schools across short-term supply, long-term placements and permanent recruitment, with tutoring support available where learners need something more individual. Tell us what you need, what matters for the role and when you need someone. We'll focus on finding the right fit rather than simply filling the gap.

    16 July 2025

    For too many schools, recruitment still feels like a race against the clock.
