We help You find
the perfect position

As a family-run business, we know all about the importance of taking a personal approach when it comes to running an education recruitment business. Our goal is to lead the way when it comes to being the number one recruitment agency because we want to make a difference.

Collectively, we have a combined experience of more than 32 years and that guarantees that schools, teachers, and TAs will receive expert service and a first-class experience from the moment we work together.

We understand that the education sector is very much reactive because when a role needs to be filled, it is vital that this happens. From illness to short-term absence and replacing staff that are leaving roles, ensuring children continue to receive the education they deserve is vital to us. Therefore, we are always willing to work with clients and candidates, whatever time of day that might be. We strive to offer a service that is available around the clock, on weekends and even during holidays because education never truly stops.

We want to build confidence in what we do, and we want to become the go-to recruitment company because we believe that our reputation and our testimonials clearly prove that we do what we promise.
Every client and every candidate are handled professionally because we believe that we set the standard. From registering teachers and schools to helping fulfil roles and needs, we are a company that simply delivers on every level.

Offering a trusted and professional service is what we are known for and that’s why our client base has grown throughout the years. Education recruitment is pivotal to ensuring the sector can continue to function seamlessly and that is why we are the driving force behind excellence when it comes to teaching and education.

We understand that other recruitment companies offer the same as us but what you get with JEAN READ Education Resourcing Ltd is a service and experience that really counts. We want to be the best that we can be and that guarantees that our service will fulfil your needs, regardless of whether you are a school or a teacher. It’s about closing that gap between schools and teachers, helping both to work together to deliver a better standard of education.

We have a reputation that we have built throughout the combined experience of 30 years that we have operated within this industry, and we don’t have plans to stop there. So, if you are looking for a flexible recruitment company that understands clients and candidates, then we are confident that we are the right fit for you.
