🌿 5 Things That Set Our Teaching Recruitment Agency Apart

When you’re looking for a teaching agency — whether as a teacher, support staff member, or a school — you want more than just someone to send over a CV.

At our agency, we’ve spent the last 14 years doing things differently. We’re not just about ticking boxes — we’re about people, purpose, and the power of education.

Here are five things that truly set us apart:

  1.  We’re Approachable, Warm & Human

There’s no “us and them” here. Whether you’re an experienced teacher or new to the classroom, you’ll always be treated with kindness, honesty, and respect.

We’re proud to build real relationships — we remember names, ask how your day was, and genuinely care about your journey. Recruitment doesn’t have to be cold. With us, it never is.

2.  We Champion Sustainability 🌱

Our office is based on a working farm — yes, really — and we live and breathe green values.
From our compost loo (you read that right!) to zero-waste practices and a deep commitment to reducing our environmental impact, we believe business can and should be kinder to the planet.

Because the future we’re helping teachers shape? It should be a sustainable one.

3. Wellbeing Isn’t a Buzzword Here 🧘

We walk the talk when it comes to wellbeing — literally. From yoga mornings in the office to celery juice in the fridge, our team prioritises balance, mental health, and creating calm in the chaos.

We support our educators with wellness resources, check-ins, and space to breathe. Because teachers can’t pour from an empty cup — and we’re here to help fill it.

4. We Match People, Not Just Post

You’re not just a job title, and schools aren’t just vacancies. We take the time to match educators with schools where they’ll thrive, not just survive.

We get to know your values, your teaching style, your commute preferences — even the vibe that suits you best. It’s personal, and it works.

5. We’re Rooted in Community

Being based in South Wales, we’re proud of our roots — and our boots. Our office doesn’t just offer job interviews — it offers fresh air, farmland, and the odd hello from an animal.

We partner with local schools, support education events, and believe in giving back to the communities we serve. It’s all about connection — to each other, and to the places we call home.
