SEND Recruitment Consultant
"I've done my best recruitment at Parker Smith.”
It's something we've heard from people across our team. That's the environment we've set out to create.
Experienced in education or SEND recruitment? Join a team where high standards, specialist knowledge and doing things properly go hand in hand.
Recruitment is demanding, (we don't pretend otherwise.) But we do believe the right environment, leadership and support can make a huge difference to how much you enjoy your job and how successful you can be at it.
At Parker Smith Inclusion, we've built a specialist SEND recruitment business around transparency, fairness and respect. We're growing and looking for experienced recruiters who share our values and want the opportunity to do their best work.
Why recruiters join us
- The freedom to build your desk - We trust experienced recruiters to think for themselves. You'll have strong processes and support around you.
- Leaders who still understand the job - Our leadership team are actively involved and understand the market, the education cycle and what can realistically be achieved.
- Become a genuine SEND specialist - SEND isn't simply a market we recruit into; it's our entire focus. Our consultants undertake SEND-specific training to better understand the settings, roles and needs of the children and young people our educators support.
- An ethical model that's easier to stand behind - We've worked with transparent pricing from the beginning, including capped permanent fees and clear margins. We want our consultants to build lasting relationships with schools, not chase the quickest deal.
- Hard work is recognised - We have high standards and an ambitious team. We also believe people should be properly rewarded for what they achieve, with a highly competitive commission structure and incentives that recognise success.
- A team that wants you to succeed - We share ideas, challenge how we do things and continuously look for ways to improve.
We believe great recruiters need the right market, resources, support, expectations and freedom to use their experience.
We work hard and expect a lot from ourselves, but quality comes before activity for activity's sake. Happy, motivated consultants build better relationships and ultimately provide a better service to the schools and educators who trust us.
Life at Parker Smith Inclusion
We're serious about recruitment, but we don't think work needs to feel serious all of the time.
You'll find ambitious recruiters, supportive colleagues, team conferences, awards, incentives, celebrations and a few office dogs along the way.
We also recognise the realities of education recruitment. There are intense periods and quieter ones, so we adapt where we can, (including things like shorter summer working hours.)
The aim is simple: create an environment where good recruiters want to stay, develop and succeed.
