Our journey started back in 2004 and the dream was to create a business built on the quality provision of teachers and education staff for long-term and specialists positions.


Recruiting the best talent means finding out what makes your school special, or which kind of school-based role suits you. Our regional teams work closely with local schools to understand their successes, aims and challenges and learn which kinds of people are best suited to their pupils and environment. And our candidates value that we take time to get to know them and the type of schools they enjoy working in, so they know we’ll only place them in positions where they’ll thrive.

Our experience in education recruitment gives you peace of mind in our skills, services and safeguarding systems. We’ve been recruiting top quality teachers and education staff for short-term, long-term and specialist roles since 2004, so we understand what it takes to match candidates’ skills to our schools’ positions to place people in the perfect posts.

You’ll find our established offices in Leeds, Bradford, Doncaster, Harrogate and Sheffield. From here, we recruit for education-based positions in schools throughout Yorkshire. Yet each team focuses on their own area, building strong relationships with local settings. Our schools are confident we understand the individual needs of their setting and its pupils, and candidates feel confident we’ll only suggest roles in the environments that suit their personalities and skills.

Schools are safe spaces. So you can trust we’ll always act with integrity, holding ourselves – and you – to the highest standards of personal and professional ethics, honesty and trust.
We’re committed to making the right hires for the right schools, continually reviewing and investing in our systems and our people. To do that, we listen carefully to your needs, respond to your queries quickly, and communicate clearly and honestly at all times to make your experience with Academic Appointments easy, enjoyable and invaluable.

You may already have a wealth of experience in education recruitment, or you may be looking to kick-start your career in the sector. Either way, we would love to hear from you!
