🤝 What a Heart Teaching Recruitment Agent Can Do for You

Whether you’re a qualified teacher or a teaching assistant looking for your next opportunity in education, navigating job applications and school placements can be time-consuming and stressful. That’s where Heart Teaching comes in.

As a specialist recruitment agency with over 10 years of experience, we’re here to make your journey smoother, more personal, and ultimately more successful. Here’s how our dedicated team supports you every step of the way:

🏫 1. We Connect You with the Right Schools

At Heart Teaching, we have strong relationships with a wide network of mainstream and SEN schools across the UK. We liaise directly with schools on your behalf, saving you the time and hassle of multiple applications.

Whether you’re interested in ASD, PMLD, SEMH, or PRU settings, we’ll help place you somewhere that suits your experience, interests, and long-term goals. We take the time to understand you—so we can find the school that’s the right fit.

💰 2. We Negotiate Your Salary and Benefits

When it comes to salary discussions, we’re here to support you. We understand that negotiating pay can feel uncomfortable, especially when transitioning into a new permanent teaching role.

At Heart Teaching, we’ll handle the negotiations on your behalf to ensure you receive a competitive salary that reflects your experience, qualifications, and the responsibilities of your new position. We’ll also work to secure any additional benefits or professional development opportunities that enhance your offer.

📚 3. We Provide Free Training and Ongoing Support

We don’t just place you and leave you. Our consultants offer ongoing support and guidance, even after you’ve started in your role. Need help adjusting to your new setting? Want to upskill or access relevant training? We’ve got you covered—at no cost to you.

At Heart Teaching, we provide free, tailored training plans based on the needs of the school you’ll be working in. Whether you’re stepping into an SEN setting or a mainstream classroom, we make sure you’re fully prepared and confident from day one.

Our training includes essentials like:

✅ Safeguarding
🚨 Prevent Duty
👧 FGM Awareness
💪 Manual Handling
🧠 SEN-specific strategies
…and more, depending on your placement.

We believe that the right training leads to better outcomes for both you and the students you support—so we invest in your development every step of the way.

📝 4. We Help You Find the Perfect Permanent Role

At Heart Teaching, we specialise in helping candidates find long-term, permanent roles they love. While most teaching assistant or support staff roles start on a 12-week temp-to-perm basis, this is more than a trial period—it’s a chance for you to make sure the school is right for you, just as much as they’re making sure you’re right for them.

We want every match to feel like a win—for both you and the school.

🔄 5. We Prioritise Stability, Not Constant Movement

We know how important consistency is—especially in SEN settings, where pupils thrive on stability and trust. That’s why we don’t operate like other agencies. We won’t move you from placement to placement.

Our goal is always to find the right school the first time. We would only look at moving you to another setting if your first placement genuinely isn’t the right fit. We care deeply about your wellbeing and your impact on the students you support.

💬 6. We Build Strong Relationships

At Heart Teaching, we work hard to maintain great relationships with both our schools and our candidates. We take pride in matching the right people with the right roles and are always honest, open, and committed to helping you succeed.

Unlike some agencies, we want you to go permanent—because your success is our success. A happy teacher or TA in the right school helps create the kind of positive, lasting impact we strive for every day.
