About Edwin

We bring together expertise across supply, leadership, people strategy, safeguarding and character education to support schools and trusts as a single, accountable strategic partner.
Who we are

Edwin people are education people. Our team is made up of experienced teachers, school leaders, trustees and educational experts who bring first-hand experience to understanding the needs of schools. We take the time to build meaningful relationships and partnerships so we can offer the best possible solutions and services.
Our mission
“Edwin’s mission is to transform education by connecting, supporting and retaining the very best talent in schools to ensure every learner flourishes.”
What makes Edwin different
The sector is under significant and growing pressure: budget constraints, workforce shortages, SEND reform, and the increasing complexity of running a trust or local authority at scale. Edwin exists to help education leaders navigate all of it.
We are an ethical business
We put data and transparency at the heart of every partnership, helping trusts reduce unnecessary agency reliance over time and reinvest those savings into their people and their pupils.
We are a strategic partner
We support and accelerate trust strategy. Whether that means workforce planning, executive recruitment, culture transformation, or safeguarding compliance, we help trusts put their strategy into practice.
Our values
The right expertise, when you need it.
No two challenges are the same. That's why we've brought together education specialists across workforce, inclusion, safeguarding, wellbeing, recruitment and organisational improvement. Rather than asking you to navigate multiple providers, we help bring the right people to the table for the issue you are trying to solve.
The right people, when you need them. We help schools find trusted teachers, TAs and cover supervisors who understand their needs and are ready to make a difference.
