Recruiting Great People For Great Careers

The independent school sector is widely respected for its high standards of education and strong sense of community. This offers real opportunity for dynamic, dedicated professionals with the requisite skills and experience.

If you are a passionate individual that works within the education sphere, then, we want to hear from you. Our team is experienced, knowledgeable and passionate. Many are former educators themselves, and can offer invaluable advice about your next move.

While many of our placements are for teaching roles, we work across a broad spectrum of positions which support both individual schools and wider school groups. These include leadership and management, classroom support, and a wide range of professional roles in areas such as HR, admissions, marketing, compliance, operations, and many others.

Whatever your education expertise, Connaught can help you find the perfect new home for them.

Why Connaught Recruitment?

We have been recruiting for the independent school sector since 2004, working with hundreds of schools across the country in that time and made thousands of successful appointments. We represent experienced independent sector teachers, high-quality staff from the state sector, international professionals and high-quality graduates/ECTs at the start of their career.

Our focus is placing individuals into permanent and long-term roles. We believe that the best recruitment involves appointments that last, and help schools and candidates alike build for the future. We also provide short-term cover to our clients where necessary, and welcome candidates for these positions.

Our model of recruitment emphasises the varied cultures and personalities of independent schools, and we work closely with candidates to ensure we connect them only with employers who are right for them. Schools, too, are looking for best-fit staff—and so we focus on who a person is as well as what’s on their CV.

Candidate Testimonials

Barry – Director of Music – St Johns Prep Northwood (Merchant Taylors)

Kathryn is a consummate professional! From the moment she reached out to me (via Linkedin) with regards to a specific role she knew about, to the end of the process, myself having being offered and accepted the job, she was always courteous and polite. She was in communication with me at every step of the way, even when there was a slight hiatus due to the school holiday period, keeping me fully informed of the situation and at what stage we were at. She relayed the details of the role and the contract to me exactly as it was presented by the school, and negotiated the remuneration package well within the parameters I had asked for. She dealt with the final offer and made sure everything was in place and secure for both parties before finally relinquishing the reigns for me to arrange final details with the school in question.
I would recommend Kathryn to anyone who was looking for a teaching role and would definitely work with her again if the need ever arose.
