Teachers, cover and support staff for schools and trusts, found by partners who've worked in education for nearly 20 years. Several of them are qualified teachers. They stay on your account, and they stay in your corner.
A good placement only works if it works for the school and the person standing in front of the class. We build for both, because our partners' income depends on relationships that last, not on volume.
Finding talent is hard, and working with us should be easy. That might mean a single cover teacher by Monday, a long-term SEND team, or a new Head of Department. You get one partner who knows your school and doesn't rotate off your account.
We assess every application, so you join a community of people who are good at this. Your partner learns where you've been and where you want to go. They'll put you forward only when the fit is real, and they'll tell you when to wait.
Our education partners have supported London schools for nearly two decades.
Several of our partners are qualified teachers. We know what a lesson observation actually tells you.
Education has been a founding practice of Amarval Partners from year one.
Long-term relationships are the model, not the exception.
Each setting needs something different from the adults in the room. We recruit for the setting, not just the job title.
Qualified class teachers, cover, teaching assistants, admin and leadership, from Reception to Year 6.
Subject specialists, especially in core subjects and STEM, plus Cover Supervisors, LSAs and pastoral staff.
Staff who are steady under pressure, for SEN units, special schools, PRUs, Alternative Provision and inclusion teams in mainstream.
Agencies are built for volume. The consultant at the pitch is rarely the person filling your role, and re-briefing is part of the model. Our partners' income depends on relationships that last, so they behave differently.
We like to meet you in school first. That way we understand your context: your culture, your pupils, and what a good hire actually looks like for you. That upfront time is why we almost never need a re-brief.
When a long-term placement becomes the right person, take them on permanently. After 12 continuous weeks on assignment there's no transfer fee, with 4 weeks' written notice.

You don't need a teaching degree to do rewarding work with young people. Teaching assistants, mentors, SEND support, cover, office and site roles are often the way in, and some people go on to train as teachers. Whatever your background, talk to us about what's realistic, what's needed near you, and how to get started.
