The Ethical SEND Recruiter

At Parker Smith Inclusion, we believe that recruitment is about building lasting relationships and making meaningful, ethical connections in the SEND sector.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">SEND Recruitment Consultant</h3>Shenfield/LondonAs an experienced SEN recruiter, you already know the variety of challenges faced every day. The intense nature of the education cycle and the frustrations that go with unforeseen events. Those things you cannot change as they are part and parcel of the job. What you can change is the environment, expectations and learning experience that accompany your role.Maybe you are not being given the support you deserve. Or perhaps you are constantly being reminded of your KPI stats while you are trying to deliver quality rather than quantity. Recruitment is tough enough without additional internal pressures being applied.Parker Smith Inclusion was built on an ethical business model of transparency, honesty and respect. Since launching 4 years ago, we have been surprised by how quickly and openly our message has been received by so many schools and candidates. As a result of this rapid growth, we are now looking for like-minded, experienced SEN consultants to join our team of experts.We are not a business of high pressure sales calls. We do not sacrifice quality for quantity. And we are most definitely not a business who will surrender our core values for a deal.What we will do, is give our consultants the respect their experience has earned and allow them to grow their desks accordingly. Yes, we do have high standards. It is why we are so successful. We have superb processes and embed the very best habits. Our teams work hard&hellip;by choice. They know the importance of what they are doing and they want to support as many people as they can. We encourage our consultants to think for themselves and help shape how we get better at what we do.Our fees are transparent and do not look to stretch school spending where financial pressures are already squeezing schools. It is fair. It is honest. And it works.We also respect the work our consultants do with an industry leading commissions scheme, rewarding hard work and successes.If you feel the right environment, leadership and resource could make you an even better SEN recruiter, it might be time to give us a call and see whether Parker Smith Inclusion is where you will deliver your best work.Google us, check out our website and read some of our reviews. Then call. We would love to talk to you.For Shenfield: Darragh@psinclusion.co.ukFor London: Heeji@psinclusion.co.ukOr call 02030114848

Sophie Kelly - Co-founder sophie@psinclusion.co.uk 02030114848 Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophie-kelly-324aab41/

I'm Sophie, and I am one of the Co-Founders of Parker Smith Inclusion.&nbsp;I started my recruitment career in 2012 in education recruitment, where I found my passion for sourcing candidates for niche SEND roles. I have worked in multiple roles since then, including finding graduates to train as teachers, but always found myself drawn back into SEND.&nbsp;I live and breathe finding amazing staff and matching them with the right schools, and the desire to do things the right way led us to set up Parker Smith Inclusion in 2021.&nbsp; &nbsp; What fulfils me now is seeing the work our team are doing and how much they are growing year on year. WHAT I ENJOYOutside of work, I am mum to a 1-year-old little boy, the famous Pepsi Cola and Coco (the two Yorkshire terriers who also feature on our team page), and a lover of food, cooking, friendship, and laughter.

I&rsquo;m one of the owners and the Managing Director of Parker Smith Inclusion, and after nearly 15 years in SEND recruitment, I can honestly say I love the work more than ever.A huge part of my role is leading and managing teams, helping people reach their full potential, and supporting consultants as they develop in their careers. Alongside this, I still actively recruit for schools, which helps me stay closely connected to the market and understand the challenges schools face firsthand. I believe that staying hands-on is key to ensuring Parker Smith Inclusion continues to adapt and evolve within the ever-changing SEND landscape.One of my favourite parts of the job is visiting schools and joining my team on visits. I genuinely enjoy it and would confidently say I&rsquo;ve probably visited more schools across London and the Home Counties than anyone else in the sector. WHAT I ENJOYOutside of work, you&rsquo;ll usually find me on the golf course, doing the early morning shift with my baby boy, or, less often these days, watching Liverpool in the pub with a cold pint.

I started working in education recruitment in 2016 as a Resourcer and spent my first couple of years across sales, compliance, and payroll.Through this, I found that my passion lies in safeguarding compliance, ensuring that staff placed in schools are safe around children and that children receive the right support.&nbsp; I felt success in knowing I had played a part in someone securing a role! The exposure to legislation that my career in compliance brought helped me to further develop into the role of HR, which I absolutely love! Knowing that I'm not just helping agency workers but also my colleagues drives me to keep pushing to do the right thing in my role every day here at PS Inclusion.Accuracy is key in my role, and having a good eye for detail ensures our processes are robust, efficient and user-friendly, whilst maintaining safer recruitment standards.&nbsp; WHAT I ENJOYFavourite TV show or film - Real Housewives Franchise Hot beverage &ndash; Coffee Sweet or savoury - savoury&nbsp; Outside of work I enjoy hiking/ walks with my husband (although I usually debate going on them, but don't tell him that!), socialising with friends and helping out a food shelter with my dad to give back.&nbsp; RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -&nbsp; I have a coin collection!&nbsp;&nbsp;

I am Heeji, London Team Manager at Parker Smith Inclusion. I lead the London team and work directly with schools across Kingston, Richmond, Wandsworth, and Surrey. My dad retired as a Deputy Headteacher after over 40 years in education, so honestly, school life was just everything growing up. It was all I heard, saw, and talked about. Before I joined education recruitment, I was a professional pianist and a Teacher! I do not just send CVs and hope for the best. I get to know my schools and educators properly. For the schools I have partnered with, more than 7 out of 10 candidates I put forward actually get the job. But the bit that really stays with me is knowing that a child with additional needs is getting the right support, and that I played a part in that. Outside of work, my three cats and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel are very much family. You will usually find me rewatching Law and Order: SVU or The Godfather, coffee in hand, completely unavailable.

I have worked in education recruitment for 6 years, starting my career in primary SEND before specialising in SEMH.

Coming from a family of medical professionals, and with my mum running a respite children&rsquo;s home, I have always had a strong passion for SEND and helping young people reach their full potential. What motivates me most is placing dedicated education professionals into schools where they can truly make a difference. I am highly relationship-focused and consultative in my approach, taking the time to listen to and understand the needs of both those I represent and the schools they serve, to ensure the best outcomes for the children they support. I have also successfully supported brand new schools with full staffing across multiple levels, building long-term partnerships and trust that continue to this day.

This comes from my own personal experience with my younger brother, who had his share of challenges with mental health and was tutored to complete his college years due to being in and out of hospital care, so I know how easy it is for these students to be forgotten.&nbsp;I pride myself on understanding educators' personal experiences and how to put them into practice in the classroom, with the right support from the school and me. I've successfully placed multiple professionals with no school experience but have the motivation, passion and drive to support the students who need it most.&nbsp; WHAT I ENJOY In my own time, I love to lift weights, go walking, spend time with my partner and little tuxedo cat Evie, with a nice cup of tea (from my Taylor Swift mug)!&nbsp; RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME - I previously ran a half-marathon in April 2025 and raised &pound;2k for the charity Mind.&nbsp;
