The Opportunity
Educate Staffing is looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Education Talent Partnerships Lead to build the future of our candidate generation strategy.
This is not a traditional recruitment role.
We are looking for someone who can identify untapped talent markets, create sustainable candidate pipelines, develop strategic partnerships and ultimately build a scalable infrastructure that directly contributes to placements across the business.
The successful person will have the autonomy to shape how we attract, develop and retain education professionals, creating long-term talent solutions rather than relying solely on traditional recruitment methods.

- Develop new candidate generation strategies across the UK and internationally
- Create sustainable pipelines of Teachers, Teaching Assistants, SEN professionals and Education Support Staff
- Identify alternative routes into education recruitment markets
- Build talent communities that generate consistent candidate flow
Develop Strategic Education Partnerships
- Establish relationships with universities, colleges and training providers
- Build partnerships with apprenticeship providers and graduate schemes
- Create pathways for career changers entering education
- Develop relationships with organisations supporting international talent mobility
Create Sustainable Candidate Generation Models
- Design programmes that create long-term candidate attraction rather than short-term recruitment campaigns
- Develop onboarding and transition support models for candidates entering education settings
- Work with internal stakeholders to understand future hiring demands and proactively build pipelines
Identify Untapped Talent Markets
- Research and develop new talent sources across the UK and overseas
- Analyse market trends and future workforce challenges
- Recommend innovative approaches to candidate attraction and engagement
Own Pipeline-to-Placement Outcomes
- Take full ownership of the performance of the pipelines you create
- Measure success through candidate generation, placements and long-term sustainability
- Work closely with recruitment teams to ensure talent pipelines convert into successful placements
