Connaught Education is a specialist recruiter in the independent sector, sourcing teaching and leadership candidates for schools across the UK and worldwide.

CONNAUGHT EDUCATION

Our mission is to meet the specific needs of independent schools. We operate exclusively in the sector, working transparently and in close partnership with our clients. We exist to connect our clients with the right teaching personnel, leadership and management.

Independent schools transform the lives of their pupils and hold themselves to exacting standards. At Connaught, our services are expressly designed to meet the needs of educational institutions looking to grow their staff-base effectively, efficiently and with care.

Our consultants focus on capturing a clear picture of a school’s specific circumstances and challenges, quickly mapping the vacancies and longer term support required in your school. Developing this understanding in partnership with our clients, we are then able to find those professionals to power their crucial next steps.

We operate exclusively in the independent sector and understand the present landscape intimately. We know that attracting the best staff, while managing costs and planning for the future, is fundamental. And we are honoured to play our part in achieving excellent education for pupils nationwide.
