“Parents, staff and governors all want results. You need the best teachers, and you haven’t got time to find them”
JOE BURNS, FOUNDER
That’s the job I take off your desk. 250+ placements in five years, and not one permanent placement has needed a rebate.
HOW I CAN HELP
However you need to hire.
Permanent
Classroom teachers, heads of department and pastoral leads who join your staff and stay.
Temporary
Cover that starts fast and runs for as long as you need it.
Interim
Fixed-term cover, including maternity cover across the school year.
Executive search
Head teachers, deputies and senior leaders.
HOW I WORK
The Full Role Brief
Most agencies ask who you’re looking for. I ask why.
1. Tell me what you need.
First, the basics: the role, the subject, the start date and the budget. Get these wrong and nothing else matters.
2. Then you tell me why.
This is the part most agencies skip. Not how big the class is, but who’s in it and what they need. And if what you want isn’t out there, I’ll tell you straight.
3. I send you teachers who fit, and stay.
Teachers chosen for what your role really needs, not just the job title. Each one someone I’d put my name to.
