Why choose Smile Education as your school's recruitment partner?

Smile Education's expert consultants provide dedicated support to each of the schools they work with.

Expert consultants

Our team is made up of recruitment specialists each focusing on a specific education type; primary, secondary or SEN. Many of our consultants support schools in the areas that they live in, giving them an excellent understanding of the local area. While others have teaching backgrounds that have provided them with a greater insight into school's needs.

 

Smile Educations supports schools and academy trusts by helping at their events as well as those in the community.

Helping out in schools

For us, it is about more than just recruitment and filling bookings. We go above and beyond to support our schools. We have chaperoned school trips, managed tombola stands and run CV and interview workshops for students. Additionally, each year we run our Smile Soccer Stars tournament in partnership with the Albion Foundation.

 

Smile Education provide schools with the chance to earn rewards via staff bookings.

Cashback on each booking

Each of our partnering schools has the opportunity to join the Smile Rewards Club which gives schools the opportunity to earn rewards when they book their teaching supply staff through us. Schools that are part of the Smile Rewards Club have been rewarded with reading books for their school, scooters and even Kindles which have been used to create technology centres within the school.

 

Smile Education takes time to get to know the schools they work with

Our business to know

In order to provide you with the best staff for your school, we need to know it inside and out. We make it our mission to know all about you and your school to enable us to understand exactly what type of staff your school is looking for. We do this through regular telephone calls and meetings arranged to suit you.

 

Smile Education is a full service recruitment agency for schools

From leaders to cleaners 

In partnership with our sister company Smile Leadership, we are able to support your school with every aspect of its recruitment. Whether you are looking for a school leader, teacher, teaching assistant or cleaner - we are here to help.

Smile Education provides schools with a range of training opportunities for their staff to help them upskill.

Training for your staff

Smile Education are an APSCo Compliance+ accredited supply teaching agency based in the West Midlands.

 

 

Safeguarding is our number one priority

We are proud to be an APSCo Compliance+ accredited education recruitment agency. This certification is a best practice quality standard and means that we go above and beyond the usual safeguarding standards. The accreditation is designed to help safeguard and improve outcomes for children and is recognised as a certified standard by the Crown Commercial Service (who we are also a supplier of).

To ensure the suitability of every member of staff placed, all of our teaching and non-teaching staff are subject to rigorous checks. These checks include a face-to-face interview (currently conducted online via video due to the pandemic), verified 10-year employment history and overseas candidate police check, if necessary. Of course, all of our school staff are also required to have enhanced DBS certificates.

In order to uphold this accredited we are audited every year. In our most recent APSCo Compliance+ audit in October 2020 we achieved 100% so, you can be certain that when you choose us as your supply teaching agency, you will only get the very best quality teaching and support staff.
