About Smart Teachers

Smart Teachers has specialised in placing great teachers, support and leadership staff in temporary and permanent roles across London and the Home Counties since 2005. We’re part of The Edwin Group and work closely with our sister companies (ABC Teachers, Vision for Education and Commando Joe’s) to make a positive impact in education.

Our approach to doing business is different to most of our competitors. We don’t focus on setting endless performance and sales call targets - we prefer our staff to concentrate on developing close working relationships with teachers and schools to ensure we understand their needs.

Our roles

Recruitment consultants Our consultants provide temporary & permanent recruitment services to schools. They establish & maintain longstanding relationships with schools, to help ensure they place the right candidate in the right school. As well as managing supply bookings, consultants work alongside resourcers to recruit teachers & support staff.

Resource consultants Our resourcers help attract new candidates to register with us. They assess candidates’ suitability and support them through the registration process, whilst ensuring all the necessary vetting and clearance checks are completed. Resourcers also support the branch with managing supply bookings.

Branch managers Our branch managers are responsible for leading & managing their team to achieve optimum performance & growth alongside running their own desk. We have branches across the country. Depending on the size of the branch, our branch managers are either responsible for an individual division (primary, secondary or SEND) or all divisions.

Support staff Our branches are supported by our head office teams, who provide vital safeguarding, IT, finance, payroll, marketing , HR & training services.

Senior leaders Our senior leaders provide strategic direction to our branches & support teams & monitor performance, to help drive success & growth across business. They ensure we are delivering quality services which are in line with national guidelines, & are responsible for managing our financial resources effectively & liaising with our Board.

Daniel Uwaifo,

I feel the most supported and appreciated I have ever felt at work! My colleagues encourage me and celebrate my successes with me, and I with them. They are all lovely people with a real passion for what they do and always approach work in a very positive, ethical way. I have never felt so happy to go to work.

I have worked at Smart Teachers for just over 7 years. We really care about our candidates, schools and internal staff. We invest a lot to help candidates secure their ideal job, and provide internal staff with CPD opportunities to support career development. There is a family feel within the office and the people can’t do enough to help each other.
