Advance your career?

Whether you are looking for a new role, your first position in education or to advance your career, you have come to the right place. We have many years experience of placing candidates nationwide into a wide variety of roles – both temporary and permanent - across the Secondary, Further Education and Commercial Training sectors.

Providing excellence

We have an extensive partnership network of secondary schools, further education colleges and commercial training providers. Many of these work with us on an exclusive basis, meaning in many instances we are first to be briefed about roles, giving you the best opportunity to be first introduced to the client.

Our consultants are not generalists. They work in subject specific areas so you will always be connected with the right market specialist for you. They are here to provide recruitment excellence and help you succeed. So not only will they present you with some of the best opportunities around, they will also be happy to share updates into local and nationwide market trends, give you tips on CV writing and advise how to best prepare for your interview.

Our approach is first to listen and learn: we need to get to know you, to understand you, what motivates you and to get some insight into your future career aspirations. Only once we understand all this, can we start work to best deliver for you and align your skills and attributes with what a potential employer is looking for. We will be proactive in our efforts, always looking to present you with multiple options and will discuss in detail any suitable opportunities, providing guidance and support throughout.

Let's get to know you

Our promise

Regular communication

We believe communication is the essential part of excellent customer service, so rest assured we will provide regular updates throughout the recruitment process.

Honesty

We will be completely transparent with you about your suitability for roles and vacancies and promise to provide constructive feedback.

Exclusive roles

For some positions we offer the best or sometimes only route to interview.

New teachers

We engage in open days and events to help new and aspiring teachers achieve their goal.

Safeguarding

We specialise in education recruitment and make it our priority to understand and remain on top of industry developments and changes, specifically regarding the vetting requirements necessary for all placements we arrange.

Our processes ensure both ours and our client’s compliance with legislative obligations. This in part is achieved by completing a number of standard checks on our candidates. By accepting assignments through Edgware Associates, you will agree to providing our dedicated vetting team certain verbal declarations and written confirmation to confirm your suitability and eligibility for the role.

For further information, please refer to our Safeguarding page or call our Vetting Team on 0344 477 9273 who will be happy to answer any questions.

"I joined a number of agencies after resigning from a permanent post as a SENCO in a mainstream school at the end of last term. I've only ever been in permanent positions before, so seeking a role through an agency has been something new for me. A number of agencies called, but were often pushy and rushed in their manner. My experience with Edgware was immediately different – always highly professional, calm and courteous."

Carol | SENCO, Kent

"My experience with Edgware was immediately different – always highly professional, calm and courteous."
