Thousands of teachers are waiting to be hired
Every strong education system is built on teachers and lecturers who inspire, challenge, and guide their students. The quality of those we place in classrooms and lecture halls shapes not only individual learning journeys but also futures, communities, and society. The right educators do more than teach — they ignite curiosity, spark confidence, and give every student the chance to thrive.
Education is one of the top searched keywords on the award-winning Guardian Jobs website. This means that thousands of candidates are looking for their next education role right now, supporting the government’s pledge to recruit 6,500 urgently needed new teachers*. The Guardian is best placed to help with this. For decades, we’ve worked alongside the education sector — supporting schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, and universities — in finding the very best candidates, while also championing the world-leading research our universities are renowned for.
As the Client Partner for the Education team here at Guardian Jobs, my team and I are proud to partner with education clients such as the University of Oxford and Ark Schools and manage our relationships with one central goal at heart: to support the sector in shaping brighter futures.
Whether you're recruiting for teachers, learning support professionals, lecturers and professors — or for essential professional staff in HR, finance, or marketing — we bring the expertise, platform, and personal touch to help you hire the right people for your team.
