For over a decade we have partnered with hundreds of schools, academies and education providers by connecting them with highly skilled teachers, support staff and classroom professionals who are committed to helping pupils thrive.
Passion for Education • Trusted Relationships • Supporting Success • Continuous Development
Like the schools we work with, we are driven by a genuine passion for education and a belief in the positive impact excellent staff can have on students. Whether placing a specialist secondary teacher, a dedicated teaching assistant or a pastoral mentor, we recognise the pivotal role recruitment plays in creating stable, effective learning environments.
At First for Education, we are committed to providing both schools and education professionals with outstanding support at every stage of the recruitment journey. We build strong, long-term relationships with our candidates to understand their skills, goals and preferences, so we can match them with roles that make the most of their strengths. Likewise, we work closely with schools to understand their culture, needs and objectives, enabling us to deliver workforce solutions that truly fit.
A key part of our service is our ongoing commitment to professional development. We offer training, guidance and CPD resources to help our registered candidates grow in confidence, refine their practice and advance their careers. Our dedicated consultants provide tailored career advice and continuous support – from the first conversation through to placement and beyond.
First for Education is proud of the respect and trust we earn from both candidates and clients. With a respectful, professional approach and a focus on clear communication, we strive to make recruitment a positive, effortless experience for everyone involved.
