About Us

Justteachers is a leading specialist supplier of teachers, nursery nurses and support staff into schools, colleges and nurseries nationwide. Our continued expansion reflects the high level of service we deliver to our members, our commitment to safeguarding and the support we offer our candidates and clients to ensure they can focus on delivering outstanding education. Our REC gold accreditation means that we provide a risk managed service to both teaching staff and schools.

We have a network of offices across England through which we support schools, colleges and nurseries in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, Coventry and the Midlands, Greater Manchester and the North West, Yorkshire, and Lancashire.

Justteachers is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.

We adopt a Safer Recruitment Policy in line with the Department for Education’s ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ to satisfy the Ofsted principle of ‘minimising risk to children, young people and adults by evaluating the effectiveness of schools’ procedures for safeguarding’ – Ofsted Framework for School Inspection. This ensures that our recruitment and selection procedures fulfil responsibilities to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.

We wholeheartedly appreciate the support we receive from our partner clients and loyal candidates. The success we celebrate as a company is also due to our hard-working team members, who work collectively and collaboratively to ensure we meet our shared goals and ambitions.

We work hard to create a workplace culture that enables our staff to thrive and ultimately this is reflected in the service they provide to our clients and candidates.

Our staff longevity demonstrates how committed our family members are in creating long-lasting, honest and open relationships with our clients and candidates alike.  We genuinely nurture a ‘family’ culture, with each and every staff member being recognised for the contributions they make. Like any family, we want everyone to be supported and to fulfil their potential throughout their career. We’re extremely proud to have over 10 members of staff with 10 plus years of service and almost 20 staff with 5-10 years.

The majority of our Senior Leaders are working parents who all started their careers as Recruitment Consultants with justteachers, which further demonstrates our commitment to the personal and professional growth of all our staff and the creation of a healthy work / life balance.
