Schools Mutual Services

Schools Mutual Services is a not-for-profit mutual set up by Leigh Rackham and education leaders in the North East of England to provide education establishments with a transparent, quality-focused recruitment service that is cost-effective and returns any profit to education. Schools Mutual Services' customers are also its owners, and as such, they are entitled to a share of the mutual company's profits. The organisation is chaired by Nick Hurn, CEO of the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, and vice-chaired by Sir Ken Gibson of Harton Academy. The business has three locations: Newcastle, Durham and Teesside.
