Supporting Schools. Empowering Pupils.
Shaping Brighter Futures.

We partner with schools and education settings to provide dependable, high-quality professionals who make a genuine difference.

SEN | Complex Needs | SEMH | Behaviour Support

Alongside our specialist provision, we support schools with wider temporary, long-term and permanent staffing requirements.

SEN & Complex Needs

Specialist People For Individual Needs.

Specialist settings need more than someone with classroom experience. They need people with patience, resilience, understanding and the ability to build meaningful relationships.

We support settings working with:
  • Autism / ASC
  • ADHD
  • SEMH
  • Complex Needs
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Communication Needs
  • Sensory Needs
  • Behaviour Support
  • 1:1 Support

We look beyond the CV. Character, consistency, patience and the ability to connect with a young person can matter just as much as experience.

Behaviour Support

Helping Young People Re-engage.

We support Alternative Provision, PRUs, SEMH settings, specialist schools and mainstream schools.

  • Behaviour Mentors
  • Behaviour Support Workers
  • SEN Teaching Assistants
  • Learning Support Assistants
  • Pastoral Support
  • Youth Workers
  • Intervention Staff

We look for professionals who can build relationships, establish clear boundaries and provide the consistency young people need.

Wider School Staffing

One Workforce Partner For Your School.

Our support doesn't stop with SEN.

We also support
  • Teachers
  • Teaching Assistants
  • HLTAs
  • Cover Supervisors
  • Learning Support Assistants
  • Early Years Practitioners
  • Administrators
  • Reception Staff
  • Reception Staff
  • Pastoral Staff

From day-to-day cover through to long-term and permanent appointments.
