Thrive Education is an independent education recruitment agency. Founded by Ellis and Jen in 2020, Thrive was built on the belief that when practitioners are respected and properly supported, teachers, parents and students benefit.
We focus on building lasting relationships with schools that care deeply about their pupils, their parents, and the teachers who support them every day, by connecting great teachers, teaching assistants and education professionals with schools that truly value them across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcester, and Wiltshire.

Thrive was built to challenge the way recruitment in education is typically done.
Too often, candidates feel like numbers and schools feel like transactions.
We believe in doing things differently.
Not only are we recruitment specialists, but our workforce are 86% parents and educators. We understand and value the importance of good, passionate teachers, the relationships they foster and the future they influence. We always aim for better outcomes for schools, staff, pupils and parents.
Why Schools and Educators Trust Us
More than recruitment...
Why We Thrive...
We don’t operate an out-of-the-box recruitment agency. Recruitment is personal to us.
We work with all levels of teachers and practitioners who are doing their best to provide a safe, thriving environment for their pupils. When looking for your next role, it should feel exciting, not stressful. At Thrive, we take the time to understand what matters most: your flexibility, progression, the right school culture, or a fresh start.
We dont just fill vacancies; we place with a real passion for education.
This is 'Why We Thrive'
