Staffing
We help schools find trusted teachers, teaching assistants and cover supervisors who are right for them.
Helping schools and trusts navigate what matters most.
Leading a school or multi-academy trust comes with big decisions and competing priorities. You need people who understand your world.
The challenges shaping education
We see the same big themes coming up time and again in our work with schools and trusts.
How do you build an organisation that can keep growing? Attract and keep good people? Make limited funding go further? Make sure every learner gets the support they need? These things are rarely separate. Decisions about your workforce affect budgets, organisational change affects people, and inclusion affects everything from staffing to culture.
Together, they give us a good place to start — understanding what matters most to you and what else might be connected.
How we help
What you need will depend on the challenge you’re facing. Edwin brings together teams working across staffing, managed services, people, leadership, culture, safer recruitment and more.
You might need one team for something specific, several working together, or a longer-term relationship with Edwin. There's no set way to work with us, we shape our support around you.

Specialisms
We help SEND, Catholic and other specialist school settings find the people and support they need.
There's more to Edwin than the services we provide.
Not everything that makes a difference comes with a service description. Sometimes it’s seeing the bigger picture, spotting a connection others might miss or recognising that the problem you started with isn’t quite the problem you need to solve.
It’s harder to put a label on, but its value is very real. That’s the Edwin advantage.
Events for MAT leaders
Leadership doesn't happen in isolation, and the best ideas don’t always come from a report or a conference. They come from conversations with people who understand some of the choices you have to make.
Join a growing community of education leaders through leadership roundtables, executive briefings, research and white papers, webinars and events, thought leadership, and practical guides.

CEO Roundtable: Partnership Dividend
CEO Roundtable24 November 2026
Manchester/ Liverpool TBC
The complexity of what our children and families now face: poverty, mental health, SEND, fractured local services, sits beyond what any single institution can solve alone. We are convening a series of Roundtables to explore a central question that we believe will shape the future of education leadership: What does it mean for a trust/school to lead as a place, not just deliver services into it - and how do we realise the partnership dividend for the children and families we serve?
