Your trusted education recruitment partner

Connecting schools with great people, and education professionals with opportunities that genuinely suit them.

Good education recruitment is about more than filling a vacancy. It is about understanding the school, the role and the person behind the CV.

Blue Skies Education works with schools and education professionals across temporary, long-term and permanent recruitment. From teachers and teaching assistants to SEND specialists, tutors and non-classroom support staff, our team takes the time to understand what a good match actually looks like.

We are based in London, but our reach does not stop at the capital. As part of the Education World group, we combine the personal approach of a specialist recruitment team with the experience, compliance support and resources of a wider education recruitment business.

The right people, whether you need them tomorrow or long term

Schools rarely have identical staffing needs. Sometimes you need reliable cover quickly. Sometimes you are looking for someone who can become a permanent part of the team.

Blue Skies Education supports schools with short-term supply, long-term placements and permanent recruitment, while helping education professionals find roles that match their experience, ambitions and circumstances.

Education recruitment specialists who know the sector

We're so successful at what we do because we really understand the unique requirements and demands of the education sector. We're proud to be niche recruitment specialists and have a thorough understanding of:

Early Years Education

...and the profound significance of the early years in a child's development as well as the crucial role educators play in providing a stimulating and nurturing environment.

Primary Education

...and the pivotal role primary educators play in these formative years, developing fundamental literacy, numeracy and social skills that lay the groundwork for future academic success.

Secondary Education

...and the importance of quality secondary educators able to support and inspire students to delve deeper into academic subjects, explore career paths and develop essential life skills.

Further Education

...and the significance that further educators play in shaping the future prospects of a young adult as well as contributing to the development of a skilled and knowledgeable society

Special Educational Needs

...and the vital role of SEN staff in promoting quality, inclusive education and empowering pupils with statements of SEN to develop their own strengths and overcome obstacles.

Tutoring

...and the essential role tutors play in supporting personalised learning by reinforcing understanding, building confidence, and helping students achieve their academic goals both in and beyond the classroom. If you want it slightly more outcome-led or more pastoral to align with parents rather than schools, I can refine it further.

Recruitment should feel personal

Looking for a new role or trying to fill a vacancy can be stressful. We think recruitment works better when there is an actual relationship behind it. Our consultants take the time to understand what you need, communicate throughout the process and continue supporting candidates and schools after a placement begins. The aim is not simply to make a placement. It is to make one that works.

Real people, real experiences...

  • I would wholeheartedly recommend Blue Skies to anyone looking for agency work. As this was my first time working with an agency, I naturally had a lot of worries and wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but from the very beginning they made me feel completely at ease. The support I received throughout the whole process meant so much to me. They took the time to help me prepare for my interview by going through practice questions with me, which really helped settle my nerves. A huge thank you to Ryan, who was amazing throughout the whole process. He worked so hard to find me a school and role that genuinely suited me, and I really felt like he cared about finding the right fit for me rather than just placing me anywhere. Ryan was always checking in to make sure I was settled, happy in my role, and comfortable with everything, while also keeping me updated with any changes along the way. It made such a difference knowing someone was there supporting me and looking out for me. I truly felt valued and cared for every step of the way. I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to work in education.
  • If you want someone to go to bat for you, work day and night on the search for place for you to work at, you have come to the right place!! What more could you want? I’ve never seen a more proactive, dedicated and communicative person than Ryan. He is THE most hard working person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Honestly he’s wayyyy overdue for some sort of award at this point; with his outstanding professionalism, welcoming demeanour and his radical dedication to get you placed somewhere The onboarding process was smooth and seamless, Ryan explained everything throughly and well and he was always available to answer a question no matter how small or silly. I was always met with a polite, professional and informative response from him I have never seen someone work so so so hard with this insatiable drive to get you working!! You are in phenomenal hands when it comes to blue skies agency! By far, THE most pleasant and remarkable experience working with an agency I’ve ever had! Ryan has really really set the bar high here and has put other agencies to the test. If you sign up with them you better prepare for the most positive experience with an agency you’ve ever had! Mark my words, with someone like Ryan in your corner, you can never lose, I guarantee you that!
  • My experience with Blue Skies recruitment agency has been brilliant. Ryan has been exceptional and helped to find me a temporary role as I had found myself between jobs, this was a stressful situation but Ryan demonstrated great understanding and was incredibly supportive throughout the process. Ryan communicated brilliantly with the school and ensured that I was also kept up to date with these communications and checked in with me throughout my time in this role. Ryan went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported. I could not recommend this recruitment agency more!
