Castle Education

Step 1
Discovery Conversation
We start with a proper chat to understand your
school's unique character, staffing challenges, and
what you're trying to achieve. No generic solutions
here – we tailor our support to fit your school from
day one.
Step 2
Partnership Agreement
We put everything in writing with a clear
service level agreement covering costs,
compliance standards, and our guaranteed
response times. No hidden surprises, no
confusing small print – just honest, transparent
partnership terms.
Step 3
Your Dedicated Consultant Team
You'll meet your specialist consultant (primary,
secondary, or SEND) plus our compliance and
talent management team. They become your first
port of call – available 6:30am-8:30pm weekdays
and Sunday evenings for emergency cover.
Step 4
Access to Yorkshire's Best Talent
We open our doors to our exclusive pool
of fully vetted Yorkshire educators. Every
teacher, TA, and support professional has
passed our rigorous 18-point compliance
process (enhanced DBS, TRA checks,
professional references, safeguarding
training) before they even think about
entering your classroom.
Step 5
Rapid Response When You Need It
Whether it's emergency same-day cover (filled
within 15 minutes) or planned long-term
recruitment (within 2 weeks), we deliver quality
candidates fast. You'll receive booking
confirmations with full candidate photos,
compliance checklists, and safeguarding details.
Step 6
Ongoing Partnership Support
We don't disappear after placement. Expect regular
service reviews, feedback sessions, and workforce
planning advice. Our bespoke CRM system provides
detailed analytics and management information to
help you make informed staffing decisions.
Step 7
Giving Back to Your School & Community
Our partnership goes beyond staffing. Through our
Giving Back initiatives, you'll benefit from rebate
schemes that put money back into your school, free
literacy packs and resources, ongoing CPD for our
placed staff, and our community investment
programs supporting Yorkshire's future talent
pipeline.
