ABOUT US
Education recruitment,
built around people.
We connect schools and trusts with talented education professionals, while helping candidates find opportunities where they can make an impact, develop and thrive.
Our Purpose
The right people can transform a school.
Our role is to make finding them simpler. We combine education recruitment expertise, genuine relationships and rigorous compliance to create recruitment solutions that work for schools, candidates and the pupils they support.
WHO WE ARE
A specialist education recruitment consultancy.
At MAT Recruitment, we believe successful recruitment starts with understanding people, not just filling vacancies.
We support schools and Multi-Academy Trusts nationally with permanent, supply, interim and leadership recruitment across teaching and education support.
For every requirement, our team takes time to understand the school, the role, its priorities and the type of person who can make a genuine contribution.
For candidates, that same approach means understanding experience, ambitions, preferred settings and what the right next step really looks like.
The result is a recruitment service focused on strong relationships, informed advice and better matches for everyone involved.
