Schools

Hexa Education recruits subject and key stage specialist Teachers as well as Teaching Assistants, Technicians and Administrative Staff for schools across the United Kingdom. We provide both temporary and permanent solutions including daily supply cover, long term roles and permanent appointments.

The Hexa Education team have over 15 years’ experience in education recruitment. We understand that sourcing staff is often not the main part of your role but one which, if done ineffectively can become unnecessarily time consuming and even stressful. We know the negative impact this can have on SLT, department staff and most importantly pupils. At Hexa Education we don’t take this responsibility lightly and make the following pledges to you and your school:



We will always:

  • Respond to same day requests immediately taking no longer than 10 minutes, and present a shortlist of suitable candidates within 48 hours of long-term bookings
  • Be honest about our availability and suitability of candidates
  • Send you full safeguarding checks before a candidate arrives at your school
  • Advise you on all relevant legislation including Agency Worker Regulations and Pensions Auto Enrolment
  • Notify you of staff due to come into scope of AWR and advise what changes you will need to make (if any)


We will always:

  • Ask teachers to demonstrate why they are outstanding practitioners
  • We perform regular quality checks to see how our supply staff are performing
