We Go Beyond the Job Board

We don't just match CVs to vacancies. Before recommending any placement, our consultants assess the environment, culture, team dynamics, and management style to make sure it's right for you long-term. That means fewer surprises, less burnout, and roles you'll actually want to stay in.

Our consultants specialise across:

  • Special educational needs (SEND) and SEMH education settings
  • Learning disability and autism services
  • Mental health and complex needs care
  • Residential, supported living, and community health

How It Works

Step 1 — Register online. Submit your CV and details to join our candidate database instantly.

Step 2 — Complete compliance checks. We'll guide you through DBS, references, and any required documentation. We manage the admin so you don't have to.

Step 3 — Speak to a specialist. Your dedicated consultant will discuss your goals, salary expectations, and preferred locations before putting you forward for anything.

Vetting typically takes 3–5 days. Once cleared, you can start work immediately.

Common Questions

What qualifications do I need?
It depends on the role. Teaching roles typically require QTS or a Level 2/3 TA qualification. Care Certificates or Level 2 or 3 in Care are often required in Health and Social Care. Roles often value experience with autism, learning disabilities, SEMH, or complex needs just as highly as formal qualifications. If you're transitioning from another sector, talk to us; transferable skills count.

Is there a fee?
No. Our service is completely free for job seekers. We're paid by the employers we place you with.

How quickly can I start?
Most candidates are work-ready within 3–5 days of completing compliance. We fast-track the process wherever we can.
