Effective recruitment is so important for SEND schools due to the nature of the support required by students. Seeing a candidate thrive in a new setting and a school benefiting from their expertise is heartwarming.
For a school to run smoothly, those who work ‘behind the scenes’ are just as important as those in the classroom. It’s my privilege to help schools with the recruitment of reliable and hard working facilities staff.
It’s my pleasure to work with secondary schools throughout Liverpool and the Wirral. To have even a small impact on the success of students at such a crucial stage of their education is amazing.
Matching Teachers and support staff with secondary schools where they will thrive is extremely rewarding, especially because educators are so influential to students throughout their teenage years.
High quality recruitment is vital within all secondary schools and I’m proud to have established a fantastic working relationship with many across Lancashire. I love learning about a school's culture and ethos.
School support staff are vital to the smooth operation of all education establishments and whether it’s a School Cleaner, Cook or SIMS Administrator, I’m on hand to ensure schools are linked with hard working professionals.
I love helping primary schools find dedicated and reliable educators, whether this be on a temporary or permanent basis. We often recruit Supply Teachers who remain at a school long-term thanks to such a successful placement.
Primary schools rely on dedicated, adaptable and compassionate Supply Teachers to keep learning on track, often at short notice. It's a pleasure to help schools find both Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and experienced professionals who can step in with confidence.
Before I joined the world of recruitment, I gained QTS in primary teaching. I now work with primary schools across Lancashire and use my experience to provide a seamless service to schools and Teachers.
It’s my pleasure to work with SEND schools to help them find supply staff, often at short notice when they have an unexpected absence. Finding them great cover staff to continue their day as normal is what it’s all about!
Managing Consultant and Designated Safeguarding Lead
Education recruitment specialist for
Mainstream schools & EYFS
A profound part of education recruitment is hearing how a student has directly benefited from our supply staff. This is what spurs me on to provide a 5 star service to secondary schools across Lancashire.
Having previously worked in a PRU, I understand the importance of finding SEND staff with the right skills, patience and compassion, ensuring every placement has a positive impact on both the school and the vulnerable students they support.
Having worked in a school for excluded children, my role in SEND recruitment is something I take great pride in. I understand the characteristics needed to make a meaningful difference to the education of a child with SEND.
I love working with secondary schools because every member of supply staff is so important to children and young people. Helping them maintain high levels of education for so many students is a pleasure.
There's nothing more rewarding than helping SEND schools with supply staff. Knowing that the professionals I place will make a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people is what makes this role so fulfilling.
Knowing that the right supply staff can strengthen a school's team and improve the educational experience of children and young people is what drives me every day.
There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a school, teacher or student benefit from the right recruitment solution. I work with both classroom teachers and support staff, helping schools build strong teams with professionals who make a lasting impact on pupils' learning and development.
I’m really proud to recruit across the North East, my own stomping ground! Working with primary and SEND schools is a privilege and I truly admire the hard work and dedication which educators put in every day!
Schools often don’t know when unexpected staff absences will arise, which is why having access to reliable supply professionals is so important. I'm proud to help schools across Lancashire quickly secure high-quality supply staff who keep learning on track, provide continuity for pupils and ensure classrooms continue to thrive, even at short notice.
I’m very proud to lead our tuition division, supplying mainstream and SEND Tutors for schools and local authorities across the UK. It’s an honour to help students who aren’t in mainstream education.
For students outside of mainstream education, 1:1 and small-group tuition is vital. Working with schools and local authorities to match students with a great tutor can positively change the trajectory of a young person's education.
I would like Spencer Clarke Group to contact me regarding their recruitment services.
