About us

Grass Roots Academic Support is a SPECIALIST in Education Recruitment. We don't find jobs for Plumbers or Architects; we only recruit and serve in the Education world. This means that whether you are a newly qualified teacher looking for that first permanent job, an experienced HoD seeking more responsibility, or a Nursery manager looking for a new environment, you'll be speaking to the experts when you contact Grass Roots.

We have been in operation since mid-2009, although the senior staff have over 10 years Education and public sector recruitment experience. With few other education employment businesses based in North Essex, we offer teachers a different experience from the traditional agencies based in Chelmsford and London.

We now work with schools from Southend-on-Sea to St Albans, and up-and-over to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.

If you are a teacher, nursery nurse, school receptionist or any other professional seeking a job within a 'school' in Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and other locations in the South-East, then contact us or search the site for a suitable vacancy.

And for schools...

As a Head teacher or hiring manager within a school/college, we understand that the quality of staff and their impact on the learning of your pupils is paramount. That's why at Grass Roots we invest thousands of pounds every year on Education-focused advertising and marketing, to attract and find the best.

Once found, the experience that we have in the company ensures that both the 'match' and the recruitment process are smooth, well organised and professional.

More so than ever, financial factors also play their part, so at Grass Roots we have a straightforward and transparent fee structure so that you can make your recruitment decisions clearly.

Sharper, Quicker, More Effective...

Our infrastructure is streamlined giving us sizeable ADVANTAGES in terms speed of response, continuity of contact (i.e.. you'll always liaise with the same experienced professional) and flexibility when it comes to recruiting options and fee negotiations.

We invest in a range of advertising and recruiting tools - continuously assessing effectiveness for quality and cost. With hands-on involvement of daily recruiting throughout the company, Grass Roots AS is lighter on its feet and able to easily respond, adapt and shape to different recruitment situations more easily than many of its market competitors. Management involvement at all levels mean decisions can be made instantly on queries or requests that you may have.

We are down-to-earth, friendly, professional and good at what we do, so please give us a call with your next vacancy.
