Who We Work With
Trusted by education leaders who need reliable SEND staffing, not generalist supply
School Business Managers
You need cover that arrives compliant, on time, and without adding admin burden. We handle vetting, documentation, and rapid shortlisting so your budget and timetable stay protected.
SENCOs & Inclusion Leads
You know the difference between a generic TA and someone who can support EHCP delivery, sensory needs, or SEMH behaviour. We recruit exclusively within SEND and understand what good looks like in your setting.
Trust HR & Local Authority Teams
Whether you are filling a single vacancy or coordinating supply across a trust or LA portfolio, we provide consistent vetting standards, clear reporting, and staff who meet your safeguarding expectations.
Roles We Place
Experienced SEND recruitment across teaching assistant, support, and cover roles
Compliance & Vetting
Safeguarding in SEND settings is non-negotiable. Every candidate we present has completed our full vetting process before they reach your shortlist — not after you have already invested time in interviews.
We verify enhanced DBS status, right-to-work documentation, qualifications, and references. We assess SEND-specific experience — including SEMH, autism support, and learning difficulties — so you receive staff who are genuinely suited to the role, not just available.
Compliance does not stop at placement. We carry out ongoing checks and keep documentation current throughout each engagement, giving SENCOs and business managers confidence that standards are maintained.

A straightforward process designed around school timetables and safeguarding deadlines

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from SENCOs, business managers, and trust HR teams
How quickly can you supply SEND support staff?
For urgent cover, we typically present a vetted shortlist within 24 hours of receiving your brief. Permanent and longer-term placements follow a structured search process, but we prioritise speed without compromising on compliance or suitability.
What compliance checks do you carry out on SEN TAs and LSAs?
Every candidate undergoes identity and right-to-work verification, an enhanced DBS check, qualification verification, a minimum of two professional references, and a competency assessment relevant to SEND settings. We monitor ongoing compliance throughout each placement.
Do you supply staff for SEMH and behaviour support roles?
Yes. We place experienced SEMH support staff, learning mentors, and behaviour support assistants who understand de-escalation, positive behaviour strategies, and the demands of alternative provision and mainstream inclusion units.
Can you support multi-academy trusts and local authority SEND teams?
Yes. We work with individual schools, multi-academy trusts, and local authority SEND services across England. We can manage single placements or coordinate supply across multiple sites under one account.
