Education recruiter Connex Education has opened its first overseas office in Sydney, Australia.

This follows shortly after the opening of the company’s new Hertfordshire branch, the second in six months.

The Sydney office will help recruit the best Australian teachers to work within the UK and will enable Connex to offer their client schools an even wider pool of the very best staff.

Mark Ashmore, sales support manager, says: “This is a hugely exciting development for Connex and our partner schools and nurseries. We already offer the very best candidates available in the UK and now we will be able to offer the very best from Australia as well.”
