Amnis Education

Amnis Education (Amnis Education Ltd)

​Amnis Education is a specialist education recruitment consultancy that provides temporary and permanent staffing solutions to schools and colleges. Founded in Manchester, the agency has grown from a local independent boutique into a multi-regional partner, now supporting educational institutions across Greater Manchester, London, and Birmingham.

​Who They Are

​Amnis Education positions itself as an "independent and people-focused" alternative to large, corporate recruitment firms. They are known for a "straightforward and stress-free" approach, where clients often deal directly with the company's directors.

​The organisation is led by a team of highly experienced consultants who pride themselves on their deep knowledge of the local secondary and primary school markets. They are recognized for their "heart and soul" philosophy—putting significant effort into matching the person to the school culture, not just the skills to the job description. Candidates frequently highlight consultants like Sunny for being approachable, supportive, and efficient in guiding them into new roles.

​They pride themselves on their Ethical Approach, offering competitive pay rates for staff and transparent, fair fees for schools, which has built them a reputation for integrity in a crowded market.

​What They Do

​Comprehensive School Staffing

Recruiting for every role required to keep an educational institution running:

• ​Teaching Staff: Placing Early Career Teachers (ECTs/NQTs), experienced Subject Specialists, and Year Group Leads.
• ​Support Staff: Supplying Teaching Assistants (TAs), Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs), and Cover Supervisors.
• ​Operational & Admin: Recruiting for school-based finance managers, SIMS experts, attendance officers, and caretakers.

​SEND & Specialist Provision

Providing staff with specific expertise in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to work in both mainstream and alternative provision settings.

​Temporary & Permanent Solutions

• ​Day-to-Day Cover: Providing rapid, same-day staffing for unplanned absences.
• ​Long-Term Contracts: Managing maternity cover or long-term sick leave placements.
• ​Permanent Recruitment: Helping schools build stable, long-term leadership and teaching teams.

​Candidate Career Support

Beyond job placement, they offer active support to educators:

• ​CV & Interview Coaching: Tailored advice for school-specific interviews.
• ​NQT/ECT Mentorship: Providing specialized training and support to help newly qualified teachers thrive in their first years.

​Approach & Values

​Amnis Education focuses on Simplicity, Reliability, and Personal Connection.

​They prioritise Speed & Accuracy, maintaining a "slick" in-house management process that allows them to provide shortlists and day-to-day cover faster than many larger competitors. Their approach is designed to be Supportive; they act as career guides for candidates, helping them realize their potential and managing their expectations throughout the hiring journey.

​A strong emphasis is placed on "Safeguarding," with a rigorous vetting process ensuring all candidates are fully DBS-checked and reference-verified before they ever step foot in a classroom.

​Industry Role

​Amnis Education acts as a trusted talent broker for schools in the North West and London, particularly helping institutions manage the ongoing national teacher shortage.

​As an independent consultancy, they offer a level of continuity that larger agencies often lack; schools generally work with the same consultant for years, building a deep understanding of the school's specific "fit" and challenges. They act as a strategic partner for School Business Managers and Headteachers, taking the administrative burden of recruitment away so leaders can focus on student outcomes.

​They offer a value-driven and highly-responsive staffing solution, making them a preferred choice for schools that want a recruitment partner who "genuinely cares" about the staff they provide and the students those staff will teach.
