What we do
Since we started Aquinas Education in 2009, we have specialised solely on educational recruitment and are experts in the field.
We connect fantastic candidates with fantastic schools, ranging from teachers to senior leaders and support staff.
We follow a thorough onboarding process, matching the right teacher to the right school. Working closely with our schools and their teams allows us to really understand the schools needs, unique ethos and environment.
Our approach is transparent and accountable from top to bottom, allowing us to create outstanding long-term partnerships with our schools and trusts.
We use our social media platforms to improve our staffing pool and attract talented teachers from the UK, and overseas.
How we recruit
Recommendations and referrals are Ian important tool for us with our own teachers recommending their friends and colleagues to join us.
We regularly run recruitment events throughout the UK and overseas
Our overseas recruitment programme involves partnering with universities in Ireland, Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand to recruit and bring the best overseas teachers to the UK.
The Aquinas Platform advertises live jobs and uses all of our SEO and social media tools to attract applicants and recruit new teachers for our pool.
Our social media channels have an incredible reach with over 3 million hits per week on our Instagram channel.
Our own in-house team meet and interview every candidate and then take them through a full vetting process to give you absolute security and ensure they are ready to go from day one.
How we retain and motivate our team
Recruitment is just the start of the process and for us retaining teachers is even more important.
Our Teacher Retention Program aims to address the challenges associated with retaining highly skilled and motivated teachers within educational institutions. We have created a supportive and enriching environment which promotes professional growth, job satisfaction and work-life balance for teachers.
We always ensure that teachers receive competitive salaries, an unrivalled benefits packages, and recognition for their achievements to acknowledge their dedication and expertise.
