Education Week Jobs

What Education Week Jobs does

Education Week Jobs is a UK-based digital job board platform operated by EducationScape Ltd, connecting employers and jobseekers across the schools, further education, training provider, and awarding organisation sectors. As of the data captured, the platform lists approximately 781 live vacancies, with Further Education representing the largest segment (558 listings), followed by Awarding Organisations (119), Schools/Academies (88), Adult Education (27), and Higher Education (26). Geographic coverage spans the United Kingdom, with heavy concentration in South East England and London and minimal presence in Scotland and Wales. Named employer customers span local government (Manchester City Council), FE college groups (Capital City College Group, Wigan & Leigh College, Dudley College of Technology, The Bedford College Group), prison education (Novus), and multi-academy trusts (St Joseph Catholic Multi Academy Trust).

The platform is built on Madgex Job Board Enterprise software (a Wiley company), with no in-house engineering stack indicated. Core product features include a job posting service for recruiters, free email-based job alerts, CV upload and candidate profile management, screening question filters, and a recruiter self-service portal with payment processing. Career resources (articles, videos) provide ancillary content marketing. There is no public API, no native mobile application, no proprietary AI/ML matching layer, and no patents or trademarks associated with the platform.

The business model is transaction-based: recruiters pay per job posting, with pricing not publicly disclosed and provided on a quote basis post-registration. GTM is sales-led but supported by self-serve onboarding. The company operates with 1-10 employees from a registered headquarters in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, and a London correspondence address. Education Week Jobs sits within EducationScape's broader portfolio alongside Schools Week and FE Week journalism brands and a calendar of education sector events and awards, which provides content distribution and brand credibility but no disclosed revenue synergies.
