Education recruiter opens branch in Birmingham

RECRUITER Simply Education has opened an office in central Birmingham.

The national teaching recruitment specialist said it has experienced huge demand for service in this area.

It has taken serviced office space with i2 at Two Snowhill after receiving funding support from RBS Invoice Finance (RBSIF).

The new office opening has resulted in the creation of six jobs in the city.

Launched in 2006, Simply Education specialise in sourcing positions for teachers and support staff in nursery, primary and secondary schools across all divisions of the education sector.

The business now has a total of 11 branches nationwide.

Its expansion has been supported with a £1.5m invoice discounting facility from RBSIF. The facility provides the business with additional working capital.

Adam Shulman, director of Simply Education, said: “The last three years in particular have seen our growth strategy really take off and I’d say we have doubled in size in that time.

“This latest office opening is really exciting and opens up a whole new marketplace to our business.”

“There is an increased demand for high quality teachers and support staff in the area and we have already developed great relationships with schools in the region.”

James Martin, relationship manager at RBS Invoice Finance, said: “There are many opportunities for the business to expand across the country as demand for recruitment services in the education sector increase and it is great that Simply Education are well placed to take advantage of these.”
