Equal Education Partners, an established and trustworthy business, has a new, dedicated team building a fresh community of educators in Cardiff, Newport, the Vale of Glamorgan, Bridgend, and surrounding areas. We’re starting with a clean slate. For you, this is a huge advantage. It means you are our priority. You’re not competing with hundreds of others on a database. You get our full attention and first call on the best roles in our partner schools. The Equal Education Difference: Pay You Can Trust. This isn't just a promise; it's our policy. We are Framework Approved: We are an approved supplier on the National Procurement Service (NPS) framework for Wales. This means all our pay rates are in line with or above national standards.
