A leading employment agency is urging people to consider a career in education to reap the rewards of better work-life balance, childcare savings and job security. Pineapple Recruitment said the education sector was experiencing a surge in talent acquisition as professionals from varied backgrounds pivot towards education to benefit from flexible working, financial stability, career progression and high personal rewards. Emma Wilson, Business Development Manager of Pineapple Recruitment’s Education Division, said: “Education offers a flexibility in working that is simply not possible in any other sector. She added: “It is so encouraging to see an increase in professionals from other sectors pivoting towards a career in education due to the varied roles available and the benefits in working in the industry brings. “The summer is the ideal time to apply for roles in education, giving candidates the opportunity to secure a position before the start of the new academic year.”
