Teaching and education CV writing service

Education CVs that work alongside
the application form.

Schools recruit through their own application forms under safer recruitment rules, and a CV on its own isn't enough. It still matters. Agencies work from it, and it's the evidence your form and supporting statement are built from. We'll make sure yours is complete, with every gap accounted for, and specific about your impact.

Who it's for

Early career, school leadership or changing direction.

Education covers teachers, support staff, FE lecturers and school leaders, and every application is read with safeguarding in mind. Here's how we approach each stage. University academic posts are covered on our Academic CV page.

Early and mid-career
Put your QTS, teacher reference number and ECT induction status at the top, with the key stages and subjects you teach. Give your full employment history in order and explain every gap, since safer recruitment rules mean gaps get followed up. Then show impact: progress and results data where you have it, responsibilities you've taken on, interventions you've led, and CPD with safeguarding training listed and dated. The supporting statement is often where the shortlisting decision gets made, and your CV should give it plenty to work with.
Leadership
For heads of department, SENCOs and senior leaders, the CV has to show impact across a department or the whole school: outcomes that moved, curriculum you rebuilt, staff you developed, and budgets or inspections you've led through. NPQs belong near the top. At headteacher and trust level, the reader wants strategic direction, finance and governance, and how the school or trust changed while you were in post.
Career changers
Teacher training numbers have risen as the wider job market has cooled, and people arriving from other careers bring subject expertise that shortage subjects need. If you're training or newly qualified after another career, lead with that expertise and the skills that carry over. The move works the other way too. Teachers leaving the classroom need their experience rewritten for a different reader, so a class of 30 becomes training delivered to groups of 30, and data tracking and parent communication become performance reporting and stakeholder management.
Senior leader, headteacher or trust leader? Our executive CV writing service starts with a 90-minute strategic consultation with a senior writer.

The market

Recruitment is improving, but not in every subject.

86%
of target: forecast secondary teacher training recruitment
8
of 17 secondary subjects forecast to miss recruitment targets
22%
above target: forecast maths teacher recruitment

NFER's 2026 report on the teacher labour market paints a better picture than it has for years. Teachers were less likely to leave last year than in any year since 2010/11, outside the pandemic, and trainee numbers have risen, helped by weaker job prospects elsewhere. Maths is forecast to recruit 22% above target.

The picture isn't even, though. Secondary recruitment overall is forecast at 86% of target, and eight of 17 secondary subjects, including business studies, drama, RE and design and technology, are expected to fall short. Primary teacher numbers are falling as pupil numbers drop, which makes primary posts more competitive.
