Over the summer break school support staff vacancies can arise resulting in last minute vacancies. Roles such as teaching assistants, school admin and finance support may become available at late notice.

How does LMP’s recruitment service work?

LMP Education supports your school through each stage of the recruitment process. Our service is made up of 5 stages:

• Advertising: the role is advertised by LMP Education on DAS & Indeed & numerous social media platforms.
• Screening: a designated LMP recruiter will sift and screen suitable applicants, making sure they are eligible and suitable for the job role/fit the criteria you provide.
• Shortlisting: CV, certificates and any other documents such as employer application forms are then sent over to the employer to consider for interview.
• Interviewing: interviews are then arranged on the employer’s behalf. We can fit this around your calendar and timetable.
• Hiring: the candidate is made successful and start date is confirmed, or further recruitment takes place to fill the vacancy.

We fill your vacancies through recruiting an apprentice on your behalf. Using the power of apprenticeships your new staff member receives funded training and mentoring – you simply pay their salary/wage and develop your own workforce to meet your school’s needs. Download our NEW recruitment guide!
