Education recruitment specialists have set up a new supply agency, Teachright, to offer schools “something different,” including football coaching.
Teachright, a joint venture with HR GO plc, the national recruitment and business services group, promises a fresh approach to helping schools – early years, primary and secondary – to findeducational staff.
They use their understanding of the teaching market to provide schools with the best talent, as well as giving back free educationalsolutions.
Between them, directors Sarah Mitchell, Luke Patsalou and Paul Cater have more than 20 years experience in educational recruitment. Paul is a qualified teacher and has taught in schools for over 11 years and Luke is a qualified football coach.
Sarah Mitchell, previously managing director of one of the UK’s largest education recruitment agencies, said: “My absolute priority is delivering exceptional customer service to our schools, teachers and support staff. Our combined expertise and experience enablesTeachright to do things differently.’
Paul Cater added: “We feel there is sometimes a disconnection between a school and a recruiter at the end of a telephone line. We’re trying to be more authentic by visiting all our schools to really understand their challenges and culture and to work in partnership with them.”
He added: “We want to give something back, for example, free sports coaching for pupils and behaviour management training for their staff.
Jack Parkinson, HR GO plc executive chairman, said: “We believe there is strong demand for high-quality service in education recruitment. These are challenging times for schools and Teachright’s experience in both teaching and recruitment gives them an edge when it comes to understanding the needs of schools and candidates.”
