TIB Services Shortlisted for the 2025 Recruiter Awards

We’re delighted to share some exciting news: TIB Services has been shortlisted for the 2025 Recruiter Awards in the category of Best Public/Third Sector Recruitment Agency!

This recognition is a proud moment for our team. It’s also a reflection of the incredible caretakers and site staff we work with every day in schools and multi-academy trusts across the UK.

Why This Matters to You

If you’re part of the TIB Services community (or thinking about joining us), this shortlisting is about more than just an award; it’s about what we stand for.

Recruiting skilled, trustworthy school caretakers isn’t easy. Schools rely on dependable people who take pride in keeping things running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. That’s where you, and TIB Services, make a real difference.

We specialise in connecting community-minded candidates with purposeful, flexible roles in schools and educational settings. Many of our caretakers bring experience from a wide range of backgrounds, including the emergency services, Armed Forces, engineering, trades, and beyond. Whatever your path, if you’re someone who has strong DIY skills and takes pride in helping others, there’s a place for you here.

Every candidate we work with is:

Pre-vetted to the Department of Education's Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) standards. As part of this, we'll pay for your enhanced DBS to get you cleared to work in schools
Trained and supported so you're fully prepared to start work in schools
Guided and cared for throughout your journey, from your first call to first placement

Being shortlisted for this award recognises the professionalism, dedication, and community spirit that our candidates bring to schools every day.

A message from our Managing Director

“To be shortlisted in this category is a real honour. It acknowledges not just the quality of our recruitment, but the real-world impact of that work in educational settings nationwide.

"We know that when you're supporting schools, it's not just about filling gaps. It's about finding the right people, at the right time, with the right attitude. Being shortlisted for this award shows we're getting that right, and that means the world to us.”

Nick Orde-Powlett, Managing Director at TIB Services

Building on Our Award-Winning Record

This nomination comes as TIB Services continues an incredible run of success and recognition:

In September 2024, we won Recruitment Agency of the Year (10–19 employees) at the Recruiter Awards for our strong social impact and commitment to prioritising people over profits.
In October 2024, we were awarded the Business Scale-Up Award at the Soldiering On Awards, celebrating our success in supporting military veterans into meaningful, rewarding work.

Each milestone reinforces what matters most to us: treating every candidate with respect, providing real support, and helping you find work that feels rewarding and purposeful.
