Meet Richard.

Hi, I’m Richard!

I was one of the very first members to join the Spencer Clarke Group when it opened its doors in 2017. Spencer Clarke Group was actually founded by my brother, Mike Shorrock, after he learnt his craft working at an agency in the North West. Since launching Spencer Clarke Group, we have experienced phenomenal success and I am extremely proud to have been a part of the journey.

I manage the education and SEND department and during my time here, I have had the pleasure of linking local authority SEND Services with some of the best talent across the country. It fills me with pride when a council can completely turn around and enhance their statutory provision through the talent which we supply them with. It’s extremely rewarding! 

I was honoured and humbled to be named Best Temporary Consultant at the 2023 Global Recruiter Awards, it was a fantastic milestone of my career. 

As a people person, I love working with my candidates and I endeavour to provide the best possible service and opportunities. Candidates have described me as responsive, efficient and very easy to communicate with!

I’m always looking to speak with Educational Psychologists, SEN Case Officers, EHCP Coordinators (and more) so if you’re looking for pastures new, why not reach out to discover the opportunities available? If you’ve never worked through an agency before, don’t be scared - I can give you a full rundown on how it all works.

Similarly, if you’re part of a council and you would like to have an exploratory conversation to discover more about the services we can offer, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

Outside of work, I’m an avid golf fan and you will usually find me on a course somewhere at the weekend. If I’m not on the course, I’ll be with my puppies Mabel and Minnie - they like to keep me on my toes!
