Smile Education are a team of dedicated education recruitment experts covering primary, secondary and SEN schools and their staff across the Midlands, North West and South Yorkshire. We have experienced specialist consultants working to place teachers, teaching assistants and cover supervisors in primary, secondary and SEN schools. We have a number of parents in our team so safeguarding is at the

heart of everything we do and we pride ourselves in always exceeding DFE guidelines and only placing staff we would be comfortable educating our own children. We are committed to finding the right staff for every school we work with and take time to really get to know both our staff and the schools we work with. We enjoy adding value to the schools we work with and the wider local community, we regularly support school and community events such as careers fairs and sports days as well. If you are a Teacher or support staff looking for work in a School please get in touch, our registration process is straightforward and providing we get all documentation from you at the interview we can find you work really quickly! We vet everyone very carefully to ensure that we are only working with the best and most suitable people, working with you to enhance your career. Before sending you out to work we will have had a thorough interview where we find out your preferences and career goals. We will have obtained at least two full relevant professional references that cover a two year period, run through your CV to ensure that any gaps over the last 10 years are explained and covered by a character reference. We will have checked the prohibited and barred list, completed a Smile DBS or checked the update service, copied and verified original qualification, ID, eligibility to work in the UK and proof of address documents and run a google search! All of these checks and others are vital to ensure that we are safeguarding children and providing you with suitable roles. Please call or email us for more information on the type of work we have available at the moment. Internally we offer a family friendly focussed environment with the opportunity to be promoted every 3 months, a structured management training programme, extra holiday and commission for hitting target, profit share, incentives for free holidays, meals and early finishes amongst lots, lots more :-)

Education recruitment is changing. From September, Trusts will be required to procure staff through the new Government Commercial Agency framework.

The new framework is designed to benefit Trusts by offering:
✅️ Lower fees - which are capped at maximum daily supplier fee rates
✅️ Enhanced safeguarding - all suppliers have passed DfE-regulated evaluations
✅️ Greater transparency across costs and processes

At Smile Education, we are already supporting Trusts across the UK through compliant and operationally effective managed service provider solutions designed specifically for education environments.

As an approved GCA Recruitment Partner featured on both the Lot 1 and Lot 2 supplier lists, we’re offering Trust leadership teams a free consultation to discuss the upcoming changes.

Contact our team and we’ll be happy to support your Trust in navigating the new framework:

One of the biggest misconceptions around managed service provider (MSP) models is that Trusts lose their preferred agencies and trusted staff.

In reality, the strongest MSP models should strengthen relationships, not replace them.

For many Trusts, workforce continuity, trusted partnerships, and consistency for pupils remain just as important as procurement compliance and governance oversight.

The conversation is no longer simply about filling vacancies.

It’s about creating staffing models that are operationally effective, commercially sustainable, and compliant for the future.

🎂 Birthday off? Yes please.

At Smile, we believe great recruiters deserve to be celebrated - which is why our team gets their birthday off to enjoy however they choose (cake highly encouraged 🍰).

Because building a rewarding career isn’t just about targets and progression - it’s about feeling valued, supported and enjoying the journey too.

If you’re an experienced recruiter looking for somewhere that recognises hard work, celebrates success and genuinely cares about its people, we’d love to hear from you 🧡

September 2026 is likely to significantly change how many Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) approach supply staffing procurement.

With increasing expectations around:
✔️ Value for money
✔️ Due diligence
✔️ Auditability
✔️ Supply chain oversight
✔️ Framework compliance

Many MATs are beginning to review whether their current staffing model is fit for September.

As a third consecutive Lot 1 and 2 provider on the GCA framework, we’re seeing these conversations increase significantly across the sector.

If your trust is reviewing agency staffing strategy ahead of the new academic year, we’d be happy to share what we’re seeing across the sector and how other MATs are approaching compliance, continuity and workforce planning.
