At Hourglass, we specialise in supporting secondary schools across the UK with permanent recruitment solutions. From large academies and grammar schools to smaller community and faith schools, we understand that every setting has its own culture, challenges, and staffing needs.

Because we focus exclusively on long-term and career development opportunities, we attract teachers and leaders who are genuinely invested in finding the right school to grow their careers. This means we can introduce you to candidates who are looking for more than just a job – they want to make a lasting impact.

We work in close partnership with:

• Academies and multi-academy trusts
• Community and foundation schools
• Voluntary-aided and voluntary-controlled schools (including faith-based settings)
• Grammar schools
• Independent secondary schools
• Special schools and SEND provisions
• University Technical Colleges and studio schools

Our approach is built on quality over quantity.

By investing time to understand your ethos and values, we ensure that every candidate we recommend is not only qualified and fully vetted, but also a strong cultural fit for your school community.

Whether you’re recruiting a newly qualified teacher, an experienced subject specialist, or a future senior leader, we’re here to provide a trusted, personalised recruitment service that supports your long-term success.
