Who Are We
At Beyond Education we are democratising access to career opportunities, enhancing social mobility and improving diversity within the workplace. In a society that is predominantly defined by inequality, we embody values that seek to create the opposite effect.
We connect underrepresented talent with inclusive employers for a more inclusive and profitable enterprise.

What our clients say
Rebecca A Brown
Head of Legal - UK, Ireland, and Crown Dependencies
"The quality of candidates we received through Stephen at Beyond Education was exceptional, outstripping what we'd previously been able to achieve with external providers. Clearly, social media reach was instrumental in creating a buzz around the positions and our company. This is the first time I have experienced an agency really paying attention to audience reach, proper social media marketing, and offering real candidate support through the process. We are Beyond impressed!"

Social Marketing Manager
"It's been a pleasure to work with Stephen over the past 6 months on our social partnership. Stephen is a great content creator and has been one of LinkedIn's key collaborators, helping us to bring our social strategy to life through his informative, authentic and humorous content."
Olivia Brown
Head of Talent Acquisition
"So for Octopus Energy, it's been honestly a breath of fresh air. We partner with businesses that genuinely want to make an impact on the world and aren't just doing things as a tick-box exercise.
So, for example, as a business, we take decisions that foster a much longer-term impact over a quick short-term gain.
And I think us partnering with Beyond Education has definitely had the same mission."
Rachael Reeves
Talent Development Associate
"I’ve worked with two other early careers specialists in the last two years, and my experience with Beyond Education came out top in my opinion!
Stephen, efficient and professional - could not have asked for a better partner to work with for our internship programme and the results really speak for themselves… 522 applicants for four roles!! The candidate selection was so competitive we were thankfully able to take a fifth intern and I’m so pleased we did as every one of them was exceptional.
I’d also like to extend thanks to your colleagues Stephanie and Faisal who helped with the training and marketing and the shortlisting respectively. You have built a fantastic team :)"
Luke Stepney
Head of Talent
"Inspiring, provocative and pragmatic are probably the three words I'd use to describe Stephen.
Stephen and the team recently hosted a workshop on DEI for Octopus Money and it was one, if not the best workshop I've ever attended.
He took the time to deeply research the business providing insights and tips in an engaging way that left us all thinking.
Highly recommended as a thought leader within DEI and an all round inspirational individual.
10/10 would recommend again."
Matt Cordas
Senior Manager - Recruitment Marketing
"I highly recommend Stephen for his outstanding work with Beyond Education. His innovative approach has greatly enhanced our three-day work experience programme, attracting a diverse range of students. Stephen's honesty, creativity, and deep commitment to student development stand out distinctly. His ideas are not only effective but resonate deeply with young learners, fostering an inclusive and engaging environment. His integrity in all dealings has earned him immense respect from both students and colleagues. Stephen is a true asset to any team, driving forward educational initiatives with passion and excellence."
