What we do

At Connaught Education, we recruit education professionals specifically for the independent sector. From classroom teachers to leaders and administrators, we connect schools with excellent candidates who will fit their culture and prove productive additions to existing teams.

Independent schools and their staff offer bespoke, individual propositions. At Connaught Education, we do the same. We know that teaching quality is the crucial, non-negotiable element of the fee-paying environment. Excellent leadership is equally essential. That’s why we target our searches to find not just a qualified candidate—but the best-qualified.

Our promise to schools is that we will deliver proactive, dynamic and focused recruitment. We pay attention to details, and we don’t waste time. We focus on recruiting for the long-term, and helping our clients and candidates deliver best-in-class education.

We take an open and tailored approach to delivery, ensuring a truly consultative and production relationship between client and recruiter, recruiter and candidate. Specialists in our field, we believe that our results cannot be bettered.

We have worked with independent schools for over two decades, building an extensive network, advanced search techniques, and developing unrivalled sector expertise to deliver recruitment outcomes that meet the unique needs of private schools.

In other words, our recruitment services are built around an understanding of the unique demands of the independent environment. They are an expression of our dedication to introducing candidates who align seamlessly with their standards, culture and ethos.

Trust, Transparency and Openness

Fee-paying schools and independent educators choose us out of confidence because they value how we dedicate time to fully understanding each school’s specific requirements.

At Connaught, we put our clients—not our processes—first. We support schools at every level, from recruiting classroom teachers and support staff to sourcing Heads of Departments and Senior Leadership.

Our expertise is in permanent and long-term appointments, but we also offer flexible fixed-term cover and supply solutions, in order to meet the diverse needs of independent schools. The independent sector is a dynamic landscape. Our mission is to ensure our clients have the resource they need to thrive.

We achieve all of this through genuine partnership with and between client, recruiter and candidate. In this unique, outcomes-focused approach, independent schools will always find in Connaught a trusted source of advice, support, solutions— and results.
