With years of collective education experience, we understand the needs of both teachers and institutions, and our people-first approach is evident in the meaningful connection we've made through our services.


We fill vacancies in primary and secondary schools, as well as early years and SEND & SEMH settings, recruiting almost all types of school staff, including qualified teachers, teaching assistants and support staff. And our safeguarding process is thorough, tried and tested to protect every pupil in your school community.

You need a recruiter you can trust understands an education environment. At Academic Appointments, our team includes a former headteacher, experienced teaching staff and school governors, alongside senior leaders and expert recruiters. It’s a unique blend, and it’s one that works for a company entirely committed to filling your school vacancy with the right member of staff.
It also means when you come to us as a candidate, you can rest assured we’ll know the school environment well so we can explore whether it feels the best fit for you. A demanding city-centre secondary school might be just the place to challenge you. Or you may be more at home in an emotive pastoral care role supporting the needs of SEND students. Whatever your style, we’ll only place you in a school where you’ll feel comfortable - and excel.

An education facility is a place where everyone must feel safe. That ethos starts here with us, as all our internal staff are safer recruiter trained. That way, you can share your school’s needs openly and honestly with us, knowing your students’ safety is always our priority.
Every Academic Appointments candidate must complete a recognised certificate in safeguarding as one of their first registration steps. And we guarantee that each individual applicant is strictly vetted before we even consider them for a placement. Our 12-point check system covers every detail, from identity checks and references to safeguarding and barring checks, which apply to the whole of the UK and all EEA members.
