Leading digital education firm confirms move to Sheffield
Tes Global, the leading digital education company and publisher of the Tes magazine, has announced plans to open new offices at 3 St Paul’s Place in Sheffield, creating up to 200 roles.
Tes has over 100 years of experience and a 10m strong online community of teachers and education professionals. The new Sheffield location will create positions across finance, IT, data and analytics, customer services and sales account management. Tes said staff would enjoy a range of benefits, including flexible working and industry-leading salaries.
The firm said that with Department of Education offices, two thriving universities and other well-known EdTech companies situated nearby, the new premises were in an increasingly important education sector hub.
Rob Grimshaw, CEO of Tes, said: “We are delighted to be opening a new Tes operation in the heart of the country and have been thoroughly impressed by all that Sheffield has to offer. So much so that our new CFO, Paul Simpson, joining us in May will be based in the new offices.
“At Tes, we believe in the power of teachers to change lives and are proud to provide services that help teachers spend as much time as possible doing the most important part of their jobs – teaching children.
“We are a trusted partner to schools, helping them find staff even when talent is scarce, and we emphasize value for money compared to the headhunter recruitment agencies with which we compete. We help schools’ stretched budgets go further, by providing excellent recruitment services and access to the a global teacher talent pool.”
Known for supporting teachers worldwide, the company has developed a range of digital products to help schools and teachers succeed.
This includes a range of teacher training, development and recruitment tools and services and an online resource sharing platform from which lesson plans and teaching resources have been downloaded over a billion time. Tes is also now one of the largest teacher trainers in the UK, graduating its 1,000th qualified teacher in 2018.
