Day-to-day operating brief

What Education Recruiter (Teacher) work looks like in practice

An Education Recruiter sources teachers, teaching assistants and other school workers for permanent or temporary vacancies. The role combines school account knowledge, candidate matching, safeguarding-sensitive screening, availability and early-morning cover demands. Terms should identify region, school phases, temporary-worker on-call expectations, candidate and pupil-data boundaries, targets, margin or fee authority and commission. Commercial urgency must never lead the recruiter to describe a safeguarding, identity, work-status or reference check as complete before verified clearance.

  • Clarify school role and timetable requirements.
  • Screen experience availability and preferences.

  • Arrange interviews trials and temporary bookings.
