Why Partner With Vantis

We are not a generalist recruitment agency. We are specialist recruitment consultants who recruit exclusively within Social Work, SEN, Neurodiversity, and Support Work.

This focus means we maintain a deep, active network of qualified professionals. When you need someone, we do not start from scratch. We draw from relationships we have already built.

Our consultants understand your sector. They know the regulatory requirements, the pressures of the roles, and the qualities that make someone excel. This means better candidates, faster placements, and less wasted time.

Clearing Assessment Backlogs

Proven experience helping councils and providers reduce waiting times across SEN and Neurodiversity

Assessment backlogs for EHCPs, autism and ADHD assessments have reached critical levels. Families are waiting months, sometimes years, for the assessments their children need. We have worked directly with several local authorities and assessment providers to address this.

Our approach is straightforward: we supply experienced, vetted assessors and specialist professionals who can hit the ground running. No long onboarding periods, no learning curves. These are professionals who already know the frameworks, the diagnostic tools, and the reporting requirements.

We have supported councils to clear backlogs of Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) assessments, ADHD diagnostic assessments, and Autism spectrum assessments. We have also partnered with independent ADHD and Autism providers who need qualified clinicians to meet growing referral demand.
