Further Education

We specialise in supporting recruitment for colleges, training providers, and education organisations across the UK.

Our expertise

With over 14 years’ experience in the Further Education sector, we understand the challenges around funding, compliance, and delivering high-quality provision.

Our team works closely with candidates and clients to provide the right people who meet both immediate staffing needs and long-term goals.

We recruit for:

  • Apprenticeships & Skills Provision
  • Further Education Colleges
  • Independent Training Providers (ITPs)
  • Employability & Welfare-to-Work
  • EdTech and Digital Learning

We also provide nationwide coverage and full compliance support, ensuring all candidates are thoroughly vetted, and every recruitment process is tailored to meet the specific needs of the organisation and individual.

Roles we recruit for

The placements we make encompass a wide range of roles, including Lecturers (vocational and academic), Apprenticeship Tutors and Skills Coaches, Functional Skills Tutors, Assessors and Quality Assurance professionals (IQAs/EQAs), Curriculum Developers, and student support roles such as Learning Support Assistants and Careers Advisers.

We also recruit across employer engagement, MIS/data, and funding teams, as well as senior leadership positions, from middle management through to Director level.

For employers, this means access to a high-quality, pre-screened talent pool and a recruitment partner who understands the operational and regulatory demands of the Further Education sector.

For candidates, it means access to exclusive opportunities, honest career guidance, and ongoing support throughout the hiring process.

Our approach is built on long-term relationships, not quick placements. We take the time to understand your goals, whether that’s building a high-performing team or progressing your career within Further Education.
