What sectors do you recruit for?

We're recruitment specialists who work exclusively across the education, healthcare, government, charity and social housing. Our team brings firsthand experience from these sectors, which means we understand the culture, challenges and values that define public service roles. Whether you're looking to hire exceptional talent or seeking your next meaningful role, we speak your language and know what it takes to succeed in these environments.

How quickly can you fill an urgent vacancy?

For temporary or cover positions, we can often provide candidates within 24-48 hours. Permanent roles typically take 5-7 working days to create a shortlist, with placements completed within 4-6 weeks depending on notice periods.

What does your vetting process involve?

All temporary candidates undergo enhanced DBS checks, professional reference verification (at least 2 references), qualification checks, right-to-work verification and safeguarding compliance screening. Our dedicated vetting team follows industry standard for education and public sector recruitment. For permanent roles, checks can be completed on request.

Do you charge candidates any fees?

Never. Our fees are paid by employers only. We also offer competitive pay rates, holiday pay and pension contributions for temporary staff, plus a £100 refer-a-friend bonus.

What makes you different from other recruitment agencies?

Three things: our education heritage gives us deep understanding of public service culture; we take a consultative approach rather than just filling vacancies; and we maintain genuine long-term partnerships with clients and candidates. Our 95% client retention rate speaks for itself.

Which areas do you cover?

We have offices in Bristol, Manchester and Leeds, with clients and candidates across the UK. Our strongest presence is in the South West, North West and Yorkshire, but we work with public sector organisations nationwide from Scotland to the South Coast.

Your Recruitment Specialists

Careers That Shape Communities

We connect exceptional people with organisations that serve our communities - from schools and colleges to healthcare, local government and housing. Everything we do is built on expertise, integrity and a genuinely people-first approach.

Because public service matters.

Your trusted recruitment partner

Placing People Who Make a Difference

We're specialists who understand what it means to serve the public, whether that's in a classroom, on a hospital ward, in a council office or supporting vulnerable residents. That insight shapes how we work with you.

We promise, we deliver. It's that simple.

For organisations, we find people who don't just meet a job specification they share your values, understand your challenges and bring both skill and heart to their role. For professionals, we connect you with opportunities where your expertise genuinely matters and your impact is felt every day.

That's why our clients trust us, why candidates choose us, and why both recommend us.

What Sets Us Apart

Beyond the CV

Anyone can match keywords on a job description. We dig deeper. What drives your organisation's culture? What does success actually look like in this role? What challenges keep you awake at night? For candidates, we ask about weekend hobbies, teaching philosophies and career dreams, not just qualifications. Because the best placements happen when values align, not just skills.

These aren't just jobs, they're vocations. We combine insider knowledge with fresh recruitment approaches across education, healthcare, local government and housing.

5/5

"My experience with Dovetail & Slate, specifically Matty and his team, has been nothing but exceptional. They have all really invested in me as the client and ensured they understand our needs. This translates equally to the commitment they show to the candidates they work with, being transparent with them and guiding them through the whole process. Where a candidate has been offered and accepted a role the job doesn't finish there, the team remain engaged with the candidate for time afterwards to see how they are doing and if there are any issues they may need support with. Even when our recruiting needs are fully met, the conversation continues just to keep abreast of things so that they are ready to react when called upon. I decline to work with other recruitment agencies such is my trust in Dovetail & Slate."
