Permanent recruitment only — We do not provide temporary staffing, supply cover, or agency day-to-day cover.

About Staff4Schools

A specialist recruitment agency dedicated to permanent SEN TA and LSA appointments in London schools.

Our mission

To strengthen inclusion in London schools by connecting them with exceptional permanent support staff — and helping talented SEN Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants build meaningful, long-term careers in education.

We believe pupils with SEND deserve consistent, skilled adults beside them. Permanent recruitment is the foundation for that stability. That is why we do one thing and do it well: permanent placements only.

Our values

The principles that guide every placement we make.

Integrity

Transparent processes, honest advice, and clear communication with schools and candidates at every stage.

Excellence

High standards in screening, safeguarding awareness, and matching — because quality support staff transform classrooms.

Partnership

We work alongside school leaders and candidates as trusted partners, not transactional suppliers.

Focus

Permanent recruitment only. No distraction from supply, cover, or temporary staffing models.

Why schools choose us

SEN & LSA specialists

We recruit solely for support roles in education — not generic admin or unrelated sectors — so we speak your language.

Permanent-only model

Schools gain staff committed to their community, not rotating cover. Candidates gain job security and career progression.

Safeguarding-first

Compliance and safer recruitment practices are embedded in our process, aligned with school expectations.

London expertise

We know the boroughs, the pressures, and the profiles that succeed in diverse urban school settings.

Responsive consultants

Personal contact when you need it — from the first enquiry through to appointment and beyond.

Quality over volume

We present carefully matched candidates rather than overwhelming you with unsuitable CVs.
