We're a leading education recruiter in the North West
Placing teachers, teaching assistants, SEN and supply staff in schools for over 25 years. Real consultants who know your name, and roles that fit your life.
September offer £100 each when you refer a friend How it works
Twenty-five years of putting the right people in the right schools
We are not a job board and we are not a call centre. We are a small team of education specialists across the North West who visit our schools, meet every candidate, and answer the phone when you ring.
Every candidate is interviewed, referenced and DBS-checked before they set foot in a classroom. Every school gets a named consultant who learns exactly what good cover looks like for them. That is how we have kept schools and candidates coming back for over two decades.

★★★★★I worked with Premier Education for around three years, and it’s been a genuinely rewarding experience from start to finish. They consistently provided me with regular work in schools, which really helped me build my confidence and develop my skills over time. A special thank you to Amy, who was incredibly encouraging and supportive throughout my time with the agency.
Paul Adams Google review
★★★★★Having worked with Premier Education for around 15 years, I am more than happy to recommend their services. The consultants listen carefully to what roles best suit me and place me in suitable roles. Supply teaching can be a very lonely job but it does not feel like that with Premier!

★★★★★I’ve recently been working with Premier Education and I cannot recommend them enough. They have been kind, helpful and supportive every step of the way, they’ve always acquired me work and have been amazing with communication.
Rhiannon Hayman Google review
★★★★★I have always found them and their staff professional and supportive. They consistently found work opportunities for me whilst trying to fit my requirements to the needs of the school. I found all the staff to have a personal, caring approach, never too busy to listen and try to resolve any worries or concerns I had.

★★★★★I have worked with Premier Education since the end of my PGCE in 2024 and I can 100% recommend! Communication is excellent and your preferences will always be taken into consideration when allocating you to a school. The app available is very efficient and is so handy for checking your shifts for the coming weeks!
